What the numbers mean in Harper city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Harper city median would spend about 14.5% 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 1.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7% of residents and 87.9% of households own their home.
