What the numbers mean in Nevada City city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Nevada City city median would spend about 30.3% 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 8.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.6% of residents and 44.8% of households own their home.
