A median home costs 5.0 times median household income, which is a stretched ownership market and usually shows up as rental demand. Residents 65 and over outnumber those under 18, at 23.1 percent against 18.3 percent, which points demand at health care, services and single storey product rather than schools.

The median is the better guide to what a typical borrower here actually gets. Only 27.9 percent of approvals run on real estate terms, so SBA credit here is mostly working capital and equipment rather than property acquisition.
