What the numbers mean in Arroyo Grande city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Arroyo Grande city median would spend about 22% 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 7.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 4.6% of residents and 62.3% of households own their home.
