Housing & Dwellings in Tinderbox
Where and how people live — the homes, how they are held, and what they cost.
A very high proportion of people own their homes in Tinderbox, where 57.7% of properties are owned outright. This creates a stable housing market that sits far above both the state and national figures for home ownership. Most residents live in large, separate houses, though those paying rent or mortgages face significant costs.
