What the numbers mean in Dayton city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Dayton city median would spend about 17.1% 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 2.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 20.3% of residents and 51.6% of households own their home.
