What the numbers mean in Golden city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Golden city median would spend about 23.2% 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 8.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 13% of residents and 58.8% of households own their home.
