How much you need to earn to rent in the Town of Hampton

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 $1,264 a month ($15,168 a year) needs an income of about $50,600 a year.

Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates

Median gross rent	$675 (±$274)	$1,264 (±$375)	+87.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$137,100 (±$22,098)	$166,800 (±$9,782)	+21.7%	No measurable change 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.
