The closest comparables inside the same city are Cosgroves and Hardenbergh's. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
