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.

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 $63,621, fair market rent of $2,240 for a two-bedroom, and a typical home value of $549,371, down 4.4% over the past year. Every figure on this page links to its underlying federal dataset with a retrieval date so you can audit the freshness yourself.
The two domains pull in different directions. Healthcare access reads strong, but the on-paper school count is on the lighter side — that’s less a quality signal and more a density one. Households here often look at districts a few ZIPs over for school choice while keeping their providers local.
- Fair market rent for a two-bedroom ($2,240/month, HUD SAFMR) represents 42% of median household income ($63,621, Census ACS) — above the 30% affordability threshold commonly used by housing experts.
- As a predominantly renter community (90% of occupied units, Census ACS), the 1 schools mapped here by NCES are especially relevant for families weighing the neighborhood.
- Strong public-transit usage (25% of commuters, Census ACS B08301) contributes to a mean commute of 21 minutes (Census ACS B08303).
One concrete reading worth keeping: Depression prevalence sits near the national rate at 23.9%. Each figure on this page links to the original federal dataset with its retrieval date — this synthesis is a reading, not a substitute for the underlying records.
