Small population: 12,425 residents. These figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-year estimates, which carry a wide margin of error for places under 20,000 people. Read each value as an approximate range, and treat year-over-year changes as indicative rather than exact. A small shift can reflect survey sampling, not a real change on the ground.

30% of monthly median household income (~$2,495/mo) · rents above this line are typically considered cost-burdened.
Key Takeaways
- Stretched market: Home value to income ratio of 6.9x is well above the ~4.1x national average; attainable workforce housing may be a recruitment friction.
- High home ownership: 80.8% owner-occupied; rental supply may be tight for incoming workers.
- Elevated vacancy: 27.8% vacancy rate. In resort, rural, and seasonal markets much of this is recreational/seasonal (second homes), not available supply; confirm the vacancy-by-reason split before treating it as a redevelopment opportunity.
- Broadly affordable rents: All 5 HUD Fair Market Rent bedroom tiers sit below the 30%-of-median-income affordability threshold (~$2,495/mo), a clear cost-of-living advantage for workforce attraction.
