What the numbers mean in Talladega city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Talladega city median would spend about 19.6% 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 2.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 22.9% of residents and 55.9% of households own their home.
