For a like-for-like read, Alessandro Heights and Hawarden Hills score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $117,517.
37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
