    The story so far

    Local job base moved from 151 in 2010 to 326 by 2023, with the pace of change shifting noticeably around 2015 (+27.7%/year before, -1.2%/year after). That trend has since leveled off. Owner-occupancy has risen 2 percentage points since 2009 (95% to 97% by 2024) — measured across non-overlapping ACS survey windows to avoid over-reading a single year's release.
