What the numbers mean in Sylvester city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Sylvester city median would spend about 18.1% 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 2.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 24.9% of residents and 58.6% of households own their home.
