What the numbers mean in Franklin city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Franklin city median would spend about 22.3% 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 2.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 28.9% of residents and 58.1% of households own their home.
