What the numbers mean in New Haven city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the New Haven city median would spend about 32.2% 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 4.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 25% of residents and 28.4% of households own their home.
