At $959 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Jim Falls commands. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
