What the numbers mean in Oak Ridge city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Oak Ridge city median would spend about 18.2% 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 3.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 12.9% of residents and 64.5% of households own their home.
