How the housing sits
Owner-occupancy sits at 77.8%, and 93.5% of all units are detached single-family homes, per 2023 five-year Census figures. Some 23.0% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The record of building starts around 1932, so the assessment reads an older envelope.
Detached construction at 93.5% means the water supply at the address is settled before filtration is reviewed.
