What the numbers mean in Peru city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Peru city median would spend about 20% 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 1.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 25.4% of residents and 70.8% of households own their home.
