The stock's character: owned, detached, and valued as houses

ACS 2020–2024 five-year estimates, MCDC profile rendering, sections H1, H2 and H9, read whole; all figures estimates at that vintage

Every house the survey counts in the town is a detached single-family house — the only building form the town has. The structure table is entire: 44 of 44 estimated units in detached single-unit structures, no attached units, no duplexes, no multi-unit buildings, no mobile homes. Of the 35 occupied units in the estimate, 25 are owner-occupied (71.4 percent) and 10 renter-occupied (28.6); 9 units stand vacant (20.5 percent), of which the survey classes 6 as for seasonal, recreational or occasional use — an odd line for an inland suburb, printed exactly as the carrier gives it and left unexplained, as small-universe estimation lines are. Owner-occupied value: median $190,600, mean $219,960; median monthly owner costs $1,344 with a mortgage and $433 without. Set against the frame, the character is complete: a stock of owned detached houses at ordinary suburban values, on lots along seven short streets — the town's entire built economy, with no second form of property in it: no apartment house, no commercial building, no institutional building, no industrial shed, on any carrier in any pass of this build.
