What the numbers mean in Chatham town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Chatham town median would spend about 26.2% 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 1.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.5% of residents and 38.9% of households own their home.
