Note: Children under 18 in households, excluding householders, spouses, and unmarried partners. Household types are classified by the “householder” — typically the person who owns or rents the home. 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.

90th Percentile Earnings Over $100,000
Note: Includes all workers who reported earnings in the past 12 months, regardless of full-time or part-time/part-year work status. 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

Category Grand Boulevard

Median Monthly Housing Costs $1,421±$90
75th Percentile Monthly Housing Costs $2,134±$103

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).

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.

Administrative data with no margin of error. Because LODES does not identify whether a worker actually traveled to the reported worksite, permanent work-from-home employees may be assigned to their employer’s worksite even when they make no trip there.
Universe: LODES-covered private-sector wage-and-salary jobs located in this neighborhood. LODES identifies jobs primarily from state Unemployment Insurance records and does not cover self-employed workers or other employment outside that system, including military, railroad, certain agricultural, nonprofit, family, and some federal jobs. · Geography: Census Blocks · Source: U.S. Census Bureau LEHD Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES), 2023
