Bottom line

Progress Village's strongest points are home prices that remain within reach and a highly educated workforce; the main tradeoffs are rent well above the national average and air quality that falls short of national benchmarks. A year of median rent ($2,021/mo) equals 27% of the median household income here, more 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.
