What the numbers mean in Gettysburg borough

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Gettysburg borough median would spend about 21.2% 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 4.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.6% of residents and 47.3% of households own their home.
