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.

Rents and Utilities

Median Rent $932 ±$94
Median Rent and Utilities $1,097 ±$106
Note: Medians are approximated via unit-level averages. See methodology page for more details. ACS-measured contract rent is often lower than estimates from real estate services like Zillow. First, current tenants typically pay less than the asking rent for vacant units—real estate services only capture the latter. Second, the ACS rent question asks what the occupant personally pays: someone splitting a unit with a roommate reports only their share, and households receiving rental assistance report only their out-of-pocket portion.
