What the numbers mean in Orange Beach city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Orange Beach city median would spend about 18% 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 5.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.5% of residents and 63.6% of households own their home.
