What the numbers mean in Merrifield CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Merrifield CDP median would spend about 20.3% 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 4.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.5% of residents and 36.2% of households own their home.
