What the numbers mean in Ouray city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Ouray city median would spend about 15.1% 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 7.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 2% of residents and 70.7% of households own their home.
