What the numbers mean in Colchester CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Colchester CDP median would spend about 21.7% 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 3.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.8% of residents and 56% of households own their home.
