Warren Ave Community has the youngest housing profile in Detroit: only 80.5% of its homes were built before 1980, the smallest share in the city, with 1950 as the median year of construction. Owner estimates are $67,000, seventh and below the city's $83,900, and rent of $1,070 matches the Detroit figure of $1,074 almost exactly. Owners hold 44.3% of households, ninth, below the 50.3% for the city. To the south-west of the centre, its neighbours are Warrendale and Franklin Park, both at $57,000 in owner estimates, and Barton-McFarland at $64,000. All of them have older stock, with 96%, 96.8% and 99.6% predating 1980, so Warren Ave Community is the exception among them, with a slightly more recent stock than any of those three nearby sectors. Its 12,442 residents pay the sixth-highest rent in the city, a middle position that matches its seventh place for owner estimates, so none of its figures sits at an extreme.
