What the numbers mean in Houston borough
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Houston borough median would spend about 15.1% 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 2.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 17.9% of residents and 63.2% of households own their home.
