What the numbers mean in Aspen city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Aspen city median would spend about 28.9% 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 17.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.8% of residents and 59.4% of households own their home.
