Home values are also elevated: the median of $185,900 exceeds both the state's $125,800 and the national $173,750. Renters occupy 21.57% of housing, below the state's 24.18% and just under the national 21.81%, so ownership is the norm.
The median property tax rate is 0.57%, slightly higher than the state rate of 0.53% but well below the national 0.74%. Because home values are high, the dollar cost of taxes may still be notable, though the rate itself remains comparatively low.
Median household income is $56,671, ahead of the state's $51,386 yet under the national $65,108. That gap helps explain why housing here can feel pricier relative to local earnings than in lower-cost parts of the state.
The unemployment rate is 2.49%, lower than both the state's 3.05% and the national 2.87%. Taken together, the figures describe a growing, higher-value county with strong employment, rents and home prices above state levels, and property taxes that remain moderate by national standards.
