What the numbers mean in Sayreville borough
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Sayreville borough median would spend about 20% 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 4.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6% of residents and 62.6% of households own their home.
