Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3/10 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.
