What the numbers mean in Lexington city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Lexington city median would spend about 19.2% 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 2.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 30.8% of residents and 71.7% of households own their home.
