What the numbers mean in Laurel city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Laurel city median would spend about 15.3% 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 2.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 14.9% of residents and 68.2% of households own their home.
