What the numbers mean in Swampscott CDP

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Swampscott CDP median would spend about 20.7% 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 5.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7% of residents and 74.1% of households own their home.
