Average gross rent is $1,179, 8% above the Newport average of $1,087. For a like-for-like read, Mainstrasse Village and Lytle Park Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $66,023. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
