What the numbers mean in Jessup borough

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Jessup borough median would spend about 17.7% 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 2.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.8% of residents and 66.9% of households own their home.
