What the numbers mean in Guernsey city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Guernsey city median would spend about 15% 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 1.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 14.8% of residents and 77.4% of households own their home.
