What the numbers mean in Island city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Island city median would spend about 22.5% 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 1.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.7% of residents and 80.8% of households own their home.
