What the numbers mean in North Charleston city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the North Charleston city median would spend about 26.1% 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 4.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 15.5% of residents and 48.5% of households own their home.
