What the numbers mean in Bowie city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Bowie city median would spend about 19% 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 3.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 4.1% of residents and 85.1% of households own their home.
