What the numbers mean in Forest CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Forest CDP median would spend about 16.9% 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 4.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.5% of residents and 75% of households own their home.
