The story so far
Local job base moved from 35 in 2010 to 31 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2018 (-8.4%/year before, +44.3%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Owner-occupancy has risen 30 percentage points since 2009 (70% to 100% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
