What the numbers mean in Carthage city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Carthage city median would spend about 21.2% 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 2.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 33% of residents and 51.7% of households own their home.
