    The story so far

    Local job base moved from 472 in 2010 to 950 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2014 (+19.9%/year before, +2.5%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Owner-occupancy has risen 8 percentage points since 2009 (71% to 79% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
