What the numbers mean in Atherton town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Atherton town median would spend about 16.8% 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 8.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 3.3% of residents and 87.4% of households own their home.
