What the numbers mean in Essex city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Essex city median would spend about 11.7% 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 1.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 17.3% of residents and 74.9% of households own their home.
