What the numbers mean in Alexandria city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Alexandria city median would spend about 24% 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 3.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 26.4% of residents and 52.3% of households own their home.
