The short answer

Raymond is home to 3,945 people. Median household income is $109,464 a year and median rent is $1,080 a month, 11.8% 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 $389,700, about 3.6x annual median household income.
