What the numbers mean in Berlin borough
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Berlin borough median would spend about 16.6% 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 3.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.9% of residents and 73.3% of households own their home.
