What the numbers mean in San Bernardino city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the San Bernardino city median would spend about 26.9% 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 6.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.5% of residents and 48.5% of households own their home.
