Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
