What the numbers mean in Jackson town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Jackson town median would spend about 23% 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 3.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 39.1% of residents and 58.6% of households own their home.
