What the numbers mean in Ferrum CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Ferrum CDP median would spend about 25% 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 6.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 35.1% of residents and 64.9% of households own their home.
