Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $70,793. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
