The story so far
Local job base moved from 864 in 2010 to 713 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2014 (-7.3%/year before, +1.0%/year after). That trend is still underway as of the most recent data. Family-household share has fallen 4 percentage points since 2009 (70% to 66% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
