What the numbers mean in Central town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Central town median would spend about 20% 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 3.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 31.4% of residents and 23% of households own their home.
