What the numbers mean in Gallup city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Gallup city median would spend about 17.9% 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 2.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 28.1% of residents and 49.4% of households own their home.
