Adults with no health insurance runs 3.7% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 29th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.1/10.
