What the numbers mean in Altadena CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Altadena CDP median would spend about 20.9% 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 8.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.4% of residents and 78.3% of households own their home.
