What the numbers mean in Decatur town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Decatur town median would spend about 21% 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 2.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 37% of residents and 52.6% of households own their home.
