Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 42% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,287, close to the Riverdale average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $62,830.

39% 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.
