    The story so far

    Local job base moved from 5,889 in 2010 to 7,613 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2014 (+20.4%/year before, -1.4%/year after). That trend has since leveled off. Family-household share has risen 4 percentage points since 2009 (71% to 75% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
