Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $54,787.
