What the numbers mean in Beacon city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Beacon city median would spend about 21.5% 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 4.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 8.4% of residents and 59.5% of households own their home.
