What the numbers mean in Palm Springs city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Palm Springs city median would spend about 24.6% 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 7.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 13.7% of residents and 65% of households own their home.
