What the numbers mean in Galveston city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Galveston city median would spend about 26.8% 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 5.1× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.9% of residents and 46.7% of households own their home.
