What the numbers mean in Milford city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Milford city median would spend about 25.7% 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 5.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 20.3% of residents and 46.5% of households own their home.
