What the numbers mean in Ontario city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Ontario city median would spend about 27.8% 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 6.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.7% of residents and 57.3% of households own their home.
