What the numbers mean in New London city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the New London city median would spend about 26% 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 3.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 21% of residents and 40.1% of households own their home.
