What the numbers mean in Saginaw city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Saginaw city median would spend about 29.2% 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 1.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 33.5% of residents and 59% of households own their home.
