What the numbers mean in Bluewell CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Bluewell CDP median would spend about 29.5% 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 17.3% of residents and 66.1% of households own their home.
