What the numbers mean in Libby city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Libby city median would spend about 20.8% 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 5.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 26.1% of residents and 59.5% of households own their home.
