What the numbers mean in Ellijay city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Ellijay city median would spend about 18.3% 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 5.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 22.2% of residents and 33.7% of households own their home.
