What the numbers mean in Sparta town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Sparta town median would spend about 18.2% 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 5.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 21.2% of residents and 57.4% of households own their home.
