What the numbers mean in Gainesville city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Gainesville city median would spend about 22.9% 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 5.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.6% of residents and 41% of households own their home.
