What the numbers mean in Silver Lake city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Silver Lake city median would spend about 18.5% 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 3.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.6% of residents and 74.1% of households own their home.
