Only 2% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
