What the numbers mean in Westfield town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Westfield town median would spend about 12.5% 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 4.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 2.1% of residents and 80.3% of households own their home.
