What the numbers mean in Carthage town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Carthage town median would spend about 16.5% 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 3.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 13.6% of residents and 81.2% of households own their home.
