What the numbers mean in Charleston city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Charleston city median would spend about 25.1% 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 3.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 31.4% of residents and 50.8% of households own their home.
