What the numbers mean in Dulce CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Dulce CDP median would spend about 15.8% 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 1.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 15.3% of residents and 62.6% of households own their home.
