What the numbers mean in Springfield city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Springfield city median would spend about 24% 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 3.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.4% of residents and 42.9% of households own their home.
