What the numbers mean in Moonachie borough

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Moonachie borough median would spend about 12.5% 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 4.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 4% of residents and 69.1% of households own their home.
