What the numbers mean in Merriam city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Merriam city median would spend about 19.4% 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 3.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.2% of residents and 61.9% of households own their home.
