What the numbers mean in West Hattiesburg CDP

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the West Hattiesburg CDP median would spend about 31.8% 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.
