What the numbers mean in Bedford borough
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Bedford borough median would spend about 16% 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 3.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.9% of residents and 48.3% of households own their home.
