Understanding Rent-to-Income Ratio in New Hampshire
What This Map Shows
This map displays the median rent as a percentage of median household income for each NH town. It reveals which towns have renters who are cost-burdened — spending more than 30% of their income on rent.
Why It Matters
The federal standard for housing affordability is that rent should not exceed 30% of gross income. Towns above this threshold indicate areas where renters face financial stress. Use the view selector above to explore other affordability metrics like price-to-income and tax burden.
