What the numbers mean in Atlantic City city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Atlantic City city median would spend about 35.9% 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 5.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 33.9% of residents and 30.1% of households own their home.
