roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $2,196, close to the Buellton average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $96,028.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
