The story so far
Local job base moved from 101 in 2010 to 138 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2016 (+12.4%/year before, -1.3%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Family-household share has risen 7 percentage points since 2009 (71% to 77% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
