Bottom line

Bradfordville's strongest points are household incomes running above the national average and a highly educated workforce; the main tradeoffs are rent well above the national average and commute times longer than most cities. A year of median rent ($1,881/mo) equals 17% of the median household income here, less than the 21% typical nationwide. It tends to suit remote workers (24% of workers here already work from home) and college-educated professionals. It may be a harder fit for renters on a tight budget.
