This neighborhood is very unique in some important ways, according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.
We Americans love our cars.

Residents of this neighborhood must really love automobiles. NeighborhoodScout's Analysis reveals that 43.0% of the households here have four, five, or more cars.
