Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. That places it #6 of 8 neighborhoods in Aspen Hill. Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $184,808.
