Note: These are American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates, not 2020 decennial Census counts. The ACS surveys a sample of households over five years, so its population estimate and margin of error can differ from the Census’s April 1, 2020 full count; population change since 2020 and geographic aggregation at split Census geographies can also contribute.

Note: Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s household income brackets. If a percentile of household income is above $200,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $200,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $265,012 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $245,398 for 2015–19.

Note: ‘Full-time, year-round’ means usually working 35 or more hours per week for 50 or more weeks in the past 12 months. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Note: ‘Part-time or part-year’ includes everyone who did not work full-time, year-round—those who usually worked fewer than 35 hours per week or fewer than 50 weeks during the year. Weeks with paid vacation or paid sick leave count as weeks worked. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Note: ‘Part-time or part-year’ includes everyone who did not work full-time, year-round—those who usually worked fewer than 35 hours per week or fewer than 50 weeks during the year. Weeks with paid vacation or paid sick leave count as weeks worked. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s earnings brackets among workers who reported earnings. If a percentile of earnings is above $100,000, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over $100,000.” That cutoff has not changed since 2010–14, so it is worth less in later releases: $132,506 in 2024 dollars for 2010–14 and $122,699 for 2015–19.

Note: Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s monthly housing cost brackets. If a percentile of monthly housing costs is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $2,000 in 2010–14 ($2,650 in 2024 dollars). It has been $3,000 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $3,681 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Note: Rent is what renters pay their landlord; Rent plus Utilities adds the estimated cost of utilities renters pay separately. Rent plus Utilities is the better comparison, since some units include utilities in the rent and others bill them separately. Both reflect what current renters pay, not asking rents. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s rent brackets and describe units that pay cash rent. If a percentile of rent is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $2,000 in 2010–14 ($2,650 in 2024 dollars).

Monthly Homeowner Costs Without a Mortgage

Category	Forest Glen
Average Monthly Owner Costs	$1,196±$45
10th Percentile Monthly Owner Costs	$573±$120
25th Percentile Monthly Owner Costs	$896±$78
Median Monthly Owner Costs	$1,206±$86
75th Percentile Monthly Owner Costs	$1,442±$69
90th Percentile Monthly Owner Costs	Over $1,500
Note: Selected monthly owner costs include real estate taxes; fire, hazard, and flood insurance; electricity, gas, water and sewer; other fuels; and, where applicable, homeowners association or condominium fees. For mobile homes, they also include site rent, personal-property taxes, registration, and license fees. Mortgage and other property-backed debt payments are excluded. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s cost brackets. If a percentile of monthly owner costs is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $700 in 2010–14 ($928 in 2024 dollars). It has been $1,500 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $1,840 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

Note: Describes households receiving federal rental assistance in this neighborhood. Tenant-paid rent is the household’s own share of the rent after the subsidy; monthly government spending is what HUD pays toward that household’s housing. Area median income is calculated by HUD for the surrounding metropolitan area, not for this neighborhood. The “With Children” measure is available only for 2020–2024; it is shown as blank for 2010–2014 and 2015–2019 in historical views. In Count view, household counts are estimated by applying each share to the number of HUD-assisted households in this neighborhood.

Tenant-paid rent is the household’s own share of the rent after the subsidy; monthly government spending is what HUD pays toward that household’s housing. Area median income is calculated by HUD for the surrounding metropolitan area, not for this neighborhood. The “With Children” measure is available only for 2020–2024; it is shown as blank for 2010–2014 and 2015–2019 in historical views. In Count view, household counts are estimated by applying each share to the number of HUD-assisted households in this neighborhood.
