What the numbers mean in Wayne city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Wayne city median would spend about 16.1% 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 3.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.9% of residents and 55% of households own their home.
