What the numbers mean in Torrance city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Torrance city median would spend about 23.5% 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 9.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.9% of residents and 54.6% of households own their home.
