U.S. Census Bureau data (2024)
The ZIP code 25625, with a population of 1,445, is not particularly renter-heavy. Only 4.0% of the residents are renters, indicating that this area is predominantly dominated by homeowners. The median household income stands at $90,417, which suggests a relatively affluent community. However, the specific market rent figures for this ZIP code are not available, making it challenging to determine precisely how much of the local income is typically consumed by rent.
To provide context, let's consider the Fair Market Rent (FMR) set by HUD for the metro area, which is $870 for fiscal year 2026. Given the median household income, if we assume that the market rent aligns closely with the FMR, then the typical rent would consume approximately 10.7% of the median income. This percentage is calculated by dividing the FMR by the median income and multiplying by 100: ($870 / $90,417) * 100 = 0.962%, rounded up to 10.7%. This indicates that rental costs are a modest portion of the average income in this area.
The scarcity of Section 8 vouchers in this ZIP code can be inferred from the low percentage of renters. Landlords in 25625 should not expect a high volume of tenants seeking housing assistance through Section 8 vouchers. Instead, they should anticipate a tenant pool that is largely self-sufficient, capable of paying market rents without government subsidies. These tenants are likely to be financially stable and have a strong preference for quality living conditions.
In summary, ZIP 25625 is a homeowner-dominated area with limited voucher demand. The expected tenants are financially independent, with a significant portion of their income available for rent or mortgage payments. They are likely to value properties that meet high standards of maintenance and comfort.
