The story so far
Local job base moved from 4,362 in 2010 to 5,358 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2019 (+2.7%/year before, -0.0%/year after). That trend has since leveled off. Owner-occupancy has risen 9 percentage points since 2009 (65% to 74% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
