What the numbers mean in Gaylord city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Gaylord city median would spend about 23% 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 3.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.8% of residents and 36% of households own their home.
