What the numbers mean in Merrill city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Merrill city median would spend about 18.8% 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 3.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 15.7% of residents and 56.5% of households own their home.
