Demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2019–2023 ACS 5-Year Estimates. Estimates are based on survey samples and are subject to margins of error.

Neighborhood boundaries use OpenStreetMap polygons crosswalked to 2020 Census tracts using PostGIS area-weighted aggregation. Affordability calculation uses current Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year rate and assumes 20% down payment on the ACS median home value.
