The quick read
Reading Hull, MA beyond the headline numbers
Hull sits inside Plymouth County, Massachusetts, at roughly 42.30°N, -70.91°W. Population 10,293, $115,485 median household income. Median home value $646,000, median rent $2,081. Poverty rate 5.8%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.
Hardship is low by national standards: 5.8% of Hull, MA residents live below the poverty line, in the least-affected quarter of the 3,890 cities reporting a rate.
The median home in Hull costs around 5.6 times what a median household earns in a year -- the most expensive quarter of reporting cities, and far enough ahead of local pay that ownership is largely closed to median earners.
19.7% of Hull workers report working from home, the highest quarter of reporting cities. Where that share runs this high, local income increasingly reflects employers located somewhere else.
Among the CDC measures on this page, lack of health insurance departs furthest from its peer median: 3.2% in Hull, the lowest-prevalence quarter of the 3,759 cities reporting that measure.
6.6% of Hull workers commute by public transit, a larger share than at least three quarters of reporting cities.
At 56.1 years, Hull's median age is in the oldest quarter of reporting cities.
