What the numbers mean in Nelson city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Nelson city median would spend about 13.7% 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 1.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.8% of residents and 89% of households own their home.
