What the numbers mean in Peñasco CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Peñasco CDP median would spend about 27.9% 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 5.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 23.3% of residents and 70.6% of households own their home.
