    The story so far

    Local job base moved from 9,665 in 2010 to 14,402 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2014 (+6.3%/year before, +2.2%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Family-household share has risen 3 percentage points since 2009 (60% to 63% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
