What the numbers mean in Sesser city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Sesser city median would spend about 16.1% 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 1.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 15.2% of residents and 75.7% of households own their home.
