What the numbers mean in Delaware city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Delaware city median would spend about 10.2% 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 1.6% of residents and 75.4% of households own their home.
