What the numbers mean in Brea city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Brea 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 7.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.4% of residents and 60.3% of households own their home.
