What the numbers mean in La Mesilla CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the La Mesilla CDP median would spend about 16.4% 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 3.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.9% of residents and 88.7% of households own their home.
