What the numbers mean in Wasco city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Wasco city median would spend about 23.2% 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 3.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 20.5% of residents and 72.6% of households own their home.
