What the numbers mean in Buffalo town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Buffalo town median would spend about 15.6% 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 2.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 21.3% of residents and 84.5% of households own their home.
