The median age here is 45.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

The Census withheld home value, gross rent for Buck Grove city because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography.
