What the numbers mean in Scotland city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Scotland city median would spend about 11.2% 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 1.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.4% of residents and 82.2% of households own their home.
