What the numbers mean in Cresson borough

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Cresson borough median would spend about 14% 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 2.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.1% of residents and 69% of households own their home.
