What the numbers mean in Carlisle borough

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Carlisle borough median would spend about 19.8% 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 17.4% of residents and 49.1% of households own their home.
