What the numbers mean in Ferguson city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Ferguson city median would spend about 27.7% 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 2.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 24.9% of residents and 48.8% of households own their home.
