What the numbers mean in Caro city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Caro city median would spend about 20.8% 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 2.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 26.7% of residents and 62.6% of households own their home.
