This indicator tracks the annual ratio of housing prices to income using the average value of homes in the County combined with the median income of residents.
Why we collect it
The County of Frontenac is committed to fostering housing developments that meet the needs and restrictions of the region's income levels. The ratio of housing prices to personal income is a reliable measure of the affordability of housing. Tracking this indicator will allow the County to act so that housing is financially accessible regardless of fluctuations in regional income levels.
