Average gross rent is $1,785, 15% below the Suffern average of $2,091. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $116,131, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 5.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
