Average gross rent is $1,634, 24% above the Essex average. SNAP participation runs 7.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.8/10. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $145,625, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
