What the numbers mean in Orono CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Orono CDP median would spend about 24.3% 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 28.2% of residents and 43.9% of households own their home.
