At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Brinkleigh and Market Square South score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
