What the numbers mean in Myrtle town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Myrtle town median would spend about 13.1% 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 21.1% of residents and 55.5% of households own their home.
