What the numbers mean in Cary town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Cary town median would spend about 15% 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 4.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.3% of residents and 66.3% of households own their home.
