What the numbers mean in Burlington city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Burlington city median would spend about 22.5% 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 18% of residents and 54.9% of households own their home.
