Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
