Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
