What the numbers mean in Chester city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Chester city median would spend about 26.3% 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 2.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 25% of residents and 54.4% of households own their home.
