What the numbers mean in Troy town
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Troy town median would spend about 11% 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 2.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 18.1% of residents and 46.5% of households own their home.
