The short answer

Eidson Road is home to 9,684 people. Median household income is $33,839 a year and median rent is $819 a month, 29.0% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is moderate. The median home is valued at $100,900, about 3.0x annual median household income.

What sets Eidson Road apart is how tight household budgets are. Money left after rent is $26,700, against $50,400 in its closest peers. Also notable: Housing became less affordable between 2019 and 2024: rent went from 23% to 29% of income.
