What the numbers mean in Higganum CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Higganum CDP median would spend about 14% 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 2.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 1.7% of residents and 89% of households own their home.
