The short answer

Plandome is home to 1,518 people. Median household income is $250,001 a year and median rent is $3,501 a month, 16.8% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $2,000,001, about 8.0x annual median household income.
