What the numbers mean in Rome city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Rome city median would spend about 41.5% 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 2.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.5% of residents and 69.8% of households own their home.
