What the numbers mean in Brent city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Brent city median would spend about 24.2% of gross income on the median rent. The 30% mark is the federal threshold for cost burden, so anything above it signals a stretched rental market. The median home costs 6.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 47.1% of residents and 56% of households own their home.
