The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 3.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.2% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $119,666, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
