43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Edgewood rate of 22.5%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $85,272, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
