What the numbers mean in Boaz CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Boaz CDP median would spend about 16.5% 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 2.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7% of residents and 85.7% of households own their home.
