Nook · Suburb / Locality
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A shift toward larger, owner-occupied homes defines Nook, where 100% of dwellings are now separate houses. The area is marked by very low housing costs and a high number of people owning their homes outright. This creates a residential landscape that is far more stable and affordable than the national average.
