What the numbers mean in Mesa city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Mesa 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 4.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 10.5% of residents and 64.4% of households own their home.
