What the numbers mean in Belle Plaine city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Belle Plaine city median would spend about 13.5% 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 6.1% of residents and 77.2% of households own their home.
