What the numbers mean in La Mesa CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the La Mesa CDP median would spend about 15.7% 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 2.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 21.5% of residents and 79.7% of households own their home.
