The story so far
Local job base moved from 2,170 in 2010 to 2,997 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2014 (+7.2%/year before, +1.2%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Owner-occupancy has risen 19 percentage points since 2009 (54% to 73% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
