What the numbers mean in Palestine city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Palestine 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 3.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 17.5% of residents and 54.7% of households own their home.
