What the numbers mean in Atlantic city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Atlantic city median would spend about 15.7% 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 2.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 23.8% of residents and 61.9% of households own their home.
