What the numbers mean in Washington Heights CDP

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Washington Heights CDP median would spend about 33.9% 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.
