How much you need to earn to rent in Broad Brook

Many landlords and housing programs use 30% of gross income as the most a household should spend on rent.

At that guideline, the median gross rent of $1,297 a month ($15,564 a year) needs an income of about $51,900 a year.

This is arithmetic on the published medians, not a rule any landlord must follow; screening criteria vary and some places limit how income may be weighed.

Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$81,500 (±$19,909)	$97,625 (±$42,402)	+19.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median gross rent	$1,226 (±$128)	$1,297 (±$202)	+5.8%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$235,100 (±$16,002)	$347,400 (±$42,339)	+47.8%	Up after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
