What the numbers mean in Monroe city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Monroe city median would spend about 27% 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 4.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 38.9% of residents and 45.1% of households own their home.
