What the numbers mean in Wayland city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Wayland city median would spend about 40.5% 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 0.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 52.5% of residents and 63.3% of households own their home.
