What the numbers mean in Fenton city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Fenton city median would spend about 19.1% 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 2.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 6.3% of residents and 65.4% of households own their home.
