What the numbers mean in Montrose city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Montrose city median would spend about 21.2% 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 5.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.9% of residents and 69.8% of households own their home.
