What the numbers mean in Jacksonville city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Jacksonville city median would spend about 13.5% 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 2.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.5% of residents and 62% of households own their home.
