What the numbers mean in Ester CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Ester CDP median would spend about 21.9% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 3.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.9% of residents and 51.8% of households own their home.
