At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Lost Valley and Raintree score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
