Its 4 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $129,232. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
