What the numbers mean in Northfield city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Northfield city median would spend about 17.9% 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 2.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 4.4% of residents and 87.8% of households own their home.
