American Community Survey estimates cover 2020–2024 and show the 90% margin of error when available. Gross rent includes rent and applicable tenant-paid utilities. Census and survey figures describe the geography used for that release; housing estimates are historical survey figures rather than current asking prices.

Area figures use the 2020 Census boundary. Population density is calculated from the 2020 Census population divided by its land area, excluding water.
