What the numbers mean in Wilson borough
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Wilson borough median would spend about 18% 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 2.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.2% of residents and 60.8% of households own their home.
