What the numbers mean in Granite City city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Granite City city median would spend about 15.1% 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 1.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.4% of residents and 71.9% of households own their home.
