What the numbers mean in Cairo city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Cairo city median would spend about 21.6% 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 2.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 27.3% of residents and 48.5% of households own their home.
