What the numbers mean in Bayard city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Bayard city median would spend about 23.6% 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 3.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 31.6% of residents and 63.9% of households own their home.
