What the numbers mean in Merlin CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Merlin CDP median would spend about 19.7% 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 6.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.5% of residents and 93.8% of households own their home.
