The Census value above is what owners said their home was worth, averaged over the 2020-2024 survey years.

Asking rent is up 31.2% over the past year. Current tenants here pay a median of $3,071 including utilities, so a new lease costs about 83% more than what the typical renter already pays. That premium is the 10th lowest of 19 ZIP codes.
