What the numbers mean in Hyden city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Hyden city median would spend about 8.2% 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 1.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 28.5% of residents and 54.4% of households own their home.
