What the numbers mean in West Monroe city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the West Monroe city median would spend about 21% 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 3.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 26.9% of residents and 43.9% of households own their home.
