What the numbers mean in Sparta city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Sparta city median would spend about 13.7% 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 1.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19% of residents and 59.5% of households own their home.
