Renter-occupied housing is 22.41%, slightly above the state's 21.85% and the national 21.81%, so renting is about as common as elsewhere.
The figures describe an inexpensive, low-tax county where housing costs are low partly because local incomes are low and jobs are harder to find than in the rest of the state.
