What the numbers mean in Manhattan city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Manhattan city median would spend about 20.9% 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 4.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 26.1% of residents and 41.3% of households own their home.
