What the numbers mean in Calera city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Calera city median would spend about 21.9% 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 2.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.7% of residents and 79.8% of households own their home.
