What the numbers mean in Plattsburgh city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Plattsburgh city median would spend about 21.4% 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 24.2% of residents and 38.1% of households own their home.
