What the numbers mean in Southport city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Southport city median would spend about 21.3% 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 4.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.3% of residents and 78.5% of households own their home.
