What the numbers mean in Saco city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Saco city median would spend about 18% 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 4.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.8% of residents and 69.9% of households own their home.
