The median home value is $183,700, which is 2.9 times the median household income ($62,648); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 56.1% of households own their home, 10% below the state average (56.1% against 62.6%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 84°F (29.0°C), and the coolest is Jan at 43°F (6.2°C). About 678 mm (27 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (90 mm) and Jan the driest (27 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
