What the numbers mean in Columbus town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Columbus town median would spend about 17.8% 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 12.7% of residents and 71.6% of households own their home.
