What the numbers mean in Aberdeen city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Aberdeen city median would spend about 14.7% 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 3.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.9% of residents and 58.4% of households own their home.
