What the numbers mean in Faulkton city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Faulkton city median would spend about 15% 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 1.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.9% of residents and 66.4% of households own their home.
