What the numbers mean in Bismarck city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Bismarck city median would spend about 15.3% 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 3.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.7% of residents and 65.8% of households own their home.
