At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $111,125, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
