What the numbers mean in Mount Airy city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Mount Airy city median would spend about 21% 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 4.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 27.1% of residents and 56.8% of households own their home.
