What the numbers mean in Fountain city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Fountain 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 4.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.7% of residents and 72.3% of households own their home.
