    The story so far

    Local job base moved from 7,873 in 2010 to 9,869 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2017 (+6.2%/year before, -1.7%/year after). That trend has since leveled off. Owner-occupancy has risen 1 percentage points since 2009 (70% to 71% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
