What the numbers mean in Washington borough
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Washington borough median would spend about 20.8% 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 3.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.5% of residents and 56.2% of households own their home.
