The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,923, 8% above the Auburn average of $1,786. That places it #5 of 10 neighborhoods in Auburn.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Shag - Auburn Court and Burndale Homes. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $99,767. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
