What the numbers mean in Fossil city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Fossil city median would spend about 18.6% 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 3.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.2% of residents and 77.6% of households own their home.
