What the numbers mean in Leighton city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Leighton city median would spend about 12.3% 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 0.6% of residents and 75.8% of households own their home.
