    The story so far

    Local job base moved from 276 in 2010 to 693 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2018 (+2.5%/year before, +15.3%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Owner-occupancy has fallen 8 percentage points since 2009 (88% to 80% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
