What the numbers mean in Birmingham city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Birmingham city median would spend about 14.8% 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 4.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 4.9% of residents and 76.2% of households own their home.
