What the numbers mean in Avenel CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Avenel CDP median would spend about 23% 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 3.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.5% of residents and 49.7% of households own their home.
