The story so far
Local job base moved from 3,896 in 2010 to 6,867 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2014 (+10.4%/year before, +3.0%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Owner-occupancy has fallen 5 percentage points since 2009 (64% to 59% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
