What the numbers mean in Apex town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Apex town median would spend about 15.5% 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 3.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 2.6% of residents and 75.3% of households own their home.
