What the numbers mean in Oskaloosa city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Oskaloosa city median would spend about 17% 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 2.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.1% of residents and 60.5% of households own their home.
