Does the typical Deltona income clear the bar?

What about a typical local household? Census puts median household income here at $71,277, which grades Tight (37) for a two-bedroom at the median rent. That falls $118,723 short of the $190,000 Comfortable line, a reminder that the typical household here spends a larger share on housing than the Comfortable band allows. Statewide, the Florida median household ($74,568) grades Tight on the state's own medians. Household income can include more than one earner, so a single salary of the same size goes less far.
