What the numbers mean in Buena borough

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Buena borough median would spend about 17.4% 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 3.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6% of residents and 67.7% of households own their home.
