What the numbers mean in Rockford city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Rockford city median would spend about 14.9% 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 1.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.8% of residents and 77.1% of households own their home.
