What the numbers mean in Central city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Central city median would spend about 31% 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 6.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.6% of residents and 49.2% of households own their home.
