What the numbers mean in Rice city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Rice city median would spend about 22.7% 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 1.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 13.3% of residents and 79.6% of households own their home.
