What the numbers mean in Barnum city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Barnum city median would spend about 7.1% 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 1.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.5% of residents and 91.6% of households own their home.
