What the numbers mean in Aurora city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Aurora city median would spend about 25% 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 5.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.2% of residents and 63.3% of households own their home.
