What the numbers mean in Newton town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Newton town median would spend about 22.5% 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 3.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 15% of residents and 58.6% of households own their home.
