What the numbers mean in Decatur city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Decatur city median would spend about 14.7% 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 4.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.2% of residents and 66.1% of households own their home.
