What the numbers mean in Spearfish city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Spearfish city median would spend about 18.9% 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 5.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 15.2% of residents and 48.3% of households own their home.
