What the numbers mean in Merrimac CDP

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Merrimac CDP median would spend about 23.9% 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 1.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.8% of residents and 28% of households own their home.
