What the numbers mean in Salida city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Salida city median would spend about 27% 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 8.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.7% of residents and 59.7% of households own their home.
