What the numbers mean in Jena town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Jena town median would spend about 12.9% 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 1.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.5% of residents and 89% of households own their home.
