What the numbers mean in Charlotte city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Charlotte city median would spend about 23% 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 11.7% of residents and 51.5% of households own their home.
