What the numbers mean in Macon city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Macon city median would spend about 13% 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 1.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.7% of residents and 81.9% of households own their home.
