What the numbers mean in Little Rock city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Little Rock city median would spend about 21.1% 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 3.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.4% of residents and 54.2% of households own their home.
