What the numbers mean in Del Mar city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Del Mar city median would spend about 21% 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 10.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 2.5% of residents and 54.3% of households own their home.
