What the numbers mean in Nome city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Nome city median would spend about 16.6% 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 3.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.9% of residents and 48.9% of households own their home.
