What the numbers mean in Beaufort town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Beaufort town median would spend about 21.5% 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 6.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 14.2% of residents and 48% of households own their home.
