At 12% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Manchester and Graceland.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $70,086.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 7.8/10 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.
