What the numbers mean in Westwood borough

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Westwood borough median would spend about 16.7% 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 3.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 4.3% of residents and 66.1% of households own their home.
