Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
Against average income of $69,976, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
