What the numbers mean in Jackson city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Jackson city median would spend about 24.5% 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 2.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 25.5% of residents and 53.9% of households own their home.
