5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,188, close to the Shenandoah average.
43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
