    The story so far

    Local job base moved from 25,434 in 2010 to 34,235 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2017 (+4.1%/year before, +0.9%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Family-household share has risen 3 percentage points since 2009 (63% to 66% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
