What the numbers mean in Detroit town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Detroit town median would spend about 27.8% 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 4.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 43% of residents and 44% of households own their home.
