Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,547, 7% below the Seaside Park average of $1,660.
Only 20% 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. Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $76,343.
With little internal variation, 6.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
