What the numbers mean in Columbia city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Columbia city median would spend about 19.9% 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 4.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 20% of residents and 49.4% of households own their home.
