What the numbers mean in Alden city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Alden city median would spend about 16.4% 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 1.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 2.9% of residents and 87.2% of households own their home.
