What the numbers mean in Kake city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Kake city median would spend about 22.6% 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 3.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 17.4% of residents and 73.2% of households own their home.
