What the numbers mean in St. Louis city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the St. Louis city median would spend about 21.2% 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 3.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.8% of residents and 45.4% of households own their home.
