What the numbers mean in Townsend town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Townsend town median would spend about 9.5% 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 2.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 1.9% of residents and 93.3% of households own their home.
