In some circumstances, someone classified as a single parent could have another familial relationship to the child — for instance, a grandmother raising a child alone. Similarly, it is possible that a grandmother is the householder and counted as a single-parent household, while married or cohabiting parents also reside in the home and primarily raise the children.

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.

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.

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.

Monthly Housing Costs

Median Monthly Housing Costs $2,175±$217
75th Percentile Monthly Housing Costs Over $3,000

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).

90th Percentile Home Value $922,392±$38,095
Note: Home values are self-reported by owners of owner-occupied housing units. Percentiles are estimated from the Census’s home value brackets. If a percentile of home values is above a certain amount, the Census Bureau does not release the specific value, so we show “Over” that amount. That cutoff was $1,000,000 in 2010–14 ($1,325,058 in 2024 dollars). It has been $2,000,000 since 2015–19, so it is worth less in later releases: $2,453,983 in 2024 dollars for 2015–19.

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.
