The voucher gap is 12.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against average income of $66,722, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
