US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $854,400, which is 7.5 times the median household income ($113,318); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 58.0% of households own their home, 4% above the state average (58.0% against 55.9%).

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 68°F (19.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 47°F (8.3°C). About 510 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (114 mm) and Jul the driest (0 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.
