Filings are well documented here: 633 across 3 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 8.0% of renter households.
Judgments average 2.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Its 3 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $908, close to the Carnegie average. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
