What the numbers mean in Skagway CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Skagway CDP median would spend about 17.2% 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 4.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.7% of residents and 61.8% of households own their home.
