Housing & affordability
How it’s calculated →Median rent of $1,364 takes 20% of median household income, below the 30% threshold at which a household is considered cost-burdened.
A median home costs 3.5 times median household income here, above the historic benchmark of about three times income.
| Metric | Value | Compared with peers | Source period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home price to income | 3.46 | Top 40% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Homeownership rate | 67.6% | Bottom 25% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Housing units ±724 | 13,292 | Top 11% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median gross rent ±$64 | $1,364 | Top 27% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Median home value ±$12,718 | $280,900 | Top 36% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Rent as a share of income | 20.1% | Top 34% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
| Vacancy rate | 7.1% | Bottom 33% | 2024 ACS 5-Year |
Both affordability measures come from the same ACS release as the income they are compared with, so the comparison is like for like. They describe housing cost against local earnings and are not a cost-of-living index — transport, groceries, healthcare, insurance and taxes are not included, and a place can look affordable here and still be expensive to live in for reasons this does not capture.
Growth & development
How it’s calculated →No building-permit activity is published for this location by the Census Building Permits Survey.
Physical risk
The hazards accounting for most of this area's expected annual loss are tornado and hail.
Low or minimal exposure: heat wave, inland flooding, strong wind, cold wave, winter weather, lightning, ice storm, earthquake, landslide, wildfire, drought.
Hazard ratings are AreaProfile calculations derived from the FEMA National Risk Index v1.20.0 (December 2025). FEMA publishes at county level. ZIP values are the land-area-weighted mean of the counties the ZIP Code Tabulation Area intersects. Expected annual loss is not allocated below county level. FEMA does not endorse this presentation. Higher physical resilience means lower exposure.
Taxes
AreaProfile does not yet publish tax comparisons. No tax dataset has met the source admission test for coverage, methodology transparency and update cadence, and the product rule is to omit a dimension rather than estimate it. The Area Score is calculated without a tax component and the weighting is documented on the methodology page.
Nothing on AreaProfile is individualized tax advice.
