The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.

The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2016, is well off that peak. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $105,958, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
