What the numbers mean in Fountain city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Fountain city median would spend about 9.5% 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 2.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.9% of residents and 86.5% of households own their home.
