What the numbers mean in Las Vegas city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Las Vegas city median would spend about 20.5% 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 3.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 29.3% of residents and 61% of households own their home.
