What the numbers mean in Kenai city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Kenai city median would spend about 18.2% 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 3.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.3% of residents and 64.8% of households own their home.
