Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,723, close to the Vancouver average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $87,143. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 6.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
