The short answer

Country Club Estates is home to 8,780 people. Median household income is $52,500 a year and median rent is $1,109 a month, 25.3% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is moderate. The median home is valued at $168,800, about 3.2x annual median household income.

What sets Country Club Estates apart is how tight household budgets are. After the median rent, with other prices set to the US average, the median household keeps about $41,600 a year, less than in 88% of places its size. Also notable: Owning with a mortgage costs only about $103 a month more than the median rent, a smaller gap than in 89% of places its size.
