How much do you need to make to afford rent in Santee, CA?

Is it more affordable to rent or buy in Santee, CA?
In Santee, CA, the price-to-rent ratio is 17.5, which generally favors renting. This ratio divides the median home price by the annual median rent: below 15 typically favors buying, 15 to 20 is balanced, and above 20 typically favors renting.
