What the numbers mean in Kensington CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Kensington CDP median would spend about 20.1% 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 6.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 4.6% of residents and 85.3% of households own their home.
