The quick read
Reading Revere, MA beyond the headline numbers
Revere sits inside Suffolk County, Massachusetts, at roughly 42.41°N, -71.01°W. Population 53,422, $86,969 median household income. Median home value $597,400, median rent $2,076. Poverty rate 11.5%, read against that income figure since two cities on the same median can differ underneath it.
Poverty in Revere, MA stands at 11.5%, above the midpoint of reporting cities. A median income can look comfortable while a share this size sits well beneath it, which is why the two figures belong together.
The median home in Revere costs around 6.9 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.
Remote work covers 9.2% of Revere workers, under the midpoint for reporting cities.
Among the CDC measures on this page, binge drinking departs furthest from its peer median: 19.7% in Revere, the highest-prevalence quarter of the 3,759 cities reporting that measure.
21.8% of Revere workers commute by public transit, a larger share than at least three quarters of reporting cities.
