What the numbers mean in Buford city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Buford city median would spend about 21.1% 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 4.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.4% of residents and 70.5% of households own their home.
