Current values
Each metric’s most recent reading, ranked against peers by value rather than by change. The MOD-IV assessment aggregates appear only here: they are a single published snapshot, and a change needs two observations.

Interpretation
written by Gemma 4 E4B · ollamaThe underlying figures have changed since this was written. Treat it as out of date until it is regenerated.
Cumberland County has experienced significant growth in housing costs and development potential. The median gross rent increased by 17.3% between 2019 and 2023, while the median owner-occupied home value rose by 26.5% over the same period. These increases contribute to a substantial rise in the Home value to area median income, which jumped 37.7% and ranks at the worst end (21/21) compared to peer regions. Despite these rising costs, the region's affordability metrics show a positive trend, as the percentage of renters paying over 30% of income on housing decreased by 11.6%, ranking it best (1/21) among peers.
Income metrics also show strong growth, with the median household income increasing by 19.1% and the Area median income (HUD) rising 12.0%. The unemployment rate saw a decline of 11.8%, ranking the county poorly (20/21) among peers. Furthermore, the county saw a large increase in net migration, with tax returns showing a 64.0% rise. Housing development is also accelerating, evidenced by residential units permitted increasing by 58.8%.
It is important to note that these figures are subject to several caveats: the affordability ratios are computed by the platform and not published by the source, and the 5-year estimates used for some metrics overlap by four years, meaning consecutive estimates are not independent measurements. Additionally, the Area median income (HUD) is a county figure, and the Zillow rent index, which is used for some rent figures, rests on a thinner base and ranks against a smaller cohort than the home value figures.

Caveats
- ACS 5-year vintages overlap by four years, so consecutive estimates are not independent measurements and short windows understate the real separation.
- Affordability ratios are computed by this platform from two published series, not published by either source. The monthly value or rent series is averaged over the survey year to match the annual income denominator.
- Zillow's rent index begins in 2015 and covers far fewer places than its home-value index, so any rent figure rests on a thinner base — and ranks against a smaller cohort — than a value figure.
- HUD publishes income limits per county, so every AMI-based figure here is a county figure. HUD does not sanction allocating one down to a municipality.
