What the numbers mean in Cherokee CDP

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Cherokee CDP median would spend about 19.9% 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 4.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 25% of residents and 63.1% of households own their home.
