What the numbers mean in Burton city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Burton city median would spend about 20.9% 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 2.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 17.1% of residents and 75.8% of households own their home.
