What the numbers mean in Paragould city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Paragould city median would spend about 18.9% 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 16.8% of residents and 56% of households own their home.
