Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 10.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2013, is well off that peak.
Average gross rent is $1,611, 8% below the Oak Grove average of $1,744. Its 2 tracts score within 0.9 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $78,554.
