What the numbers mean in Buckland city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Buckland city median would spend about 22.5% 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 1.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 17.1% of residents and 78.1% of households own their home.
