Healthcare access is the area's quieter strength; school options sit on the lighter side, so families may find themselves looking at districts a few ZIPs over. Notable: median household income $47,500, fair market rent of $880 for a two-bedroom, and a 22.3% poverty rate (well above the ~12% US average).
