What the numbers mean in Ocean City city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Ocean City city median would spend about 19.7% 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 7.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.9% of residents and 72.4% of households own their home.
