What the numbers mean in Downey city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Downey city median would spend about 26% 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 8.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.1% of residents and 50.7% of households own their home.
