What the numbers mean in Richmond city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Richmond city median would spend about 25.3% 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 7.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 13.6% of residents and 52.5% of households own their home.
