What the numbers mean in Auburn city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Auburn city median would spend about 13.8% 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 1.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.7% of residents and 84.9% of households own their home.
