What the numbers mean in Paramount city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Paramount city median would spend about 30% 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 7.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 13.3% of residents and 43.4% of households own their home.
