What the numbers mean in Harrison town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Harrison town median would spend about 30.2% 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 5.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 13.9% of residents and 18.9% of households own their home.
