What the numbers mean in Craigsville CDP
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Craigsville CDP median would spend about 25.4% 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.
