What the numbers mean in Fayetteville city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Fayetteville city median would spend about 25.1% 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 3.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 18.1% of residents and 46.5% of households own their home.
