At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $114,276, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
