What the numbers mean in Oceanside city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Oceanside city median would spend about 28.3% 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 7.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.1% of residents and 58.5% of households own their home.
