What the numbers mean in Jamaica city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Jamaica city median would spend about 12% 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 1.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 17.5% of residents and 70.4% of households own their home.
