What the numbers mean in Valley Center CDP

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Valley Center CDP median would spend about 12% 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 6.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.4% of residents and 88.3% of households own their home.
