What the numbers mean in Sonoma city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Sonoma city median would spend about 26.3% 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 9.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.5% of residents and 63.1% of households own their home.
