What the numbers mean in Wamego city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Wamego city median would spend about 15% 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 2.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.5% of residents and 74.9% of households own their home.
