Against average income of $75,493, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,039, close to the St. Louis average. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
