What the numbers mean in Greensboro city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Greensboro city median would spend about 22.7% 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 3.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 18.4% of residents and 50.3% of households own their home.
