What the numbers mean in Saluda city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Saluda city median would spend about 30.3% 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 6.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 18.8% of residents and 85.1% of households own their home.
