What the numbers say
By the 2023 five-year American Community Survey, 68.3% of units are detached single-family homes and 90.8% of occupied units are owner-occupied. Some 22.9% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher.
Owner-occupancy of 90.8% means the envelope and the equipment inside it normally sit with one decision maker, so findings are ordered by what to do first.
