What the numbers mean in Chester CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Chester CDP median would spend about 24.4% 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 4.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 10.6% of residents and 64.6% of households own their home.
