What the numbers mean in Encinitas city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Encinitas city median would spend about 21.8% 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 9.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.3% of residents and 66.4% of households own their home.
