What the numbers mean in Carrboro town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Carrboro town median would spend about 18.7% 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 5.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.3% of residents and 43.6% of households own their home.
