What the numbers mean in Slaton city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Slaton city median would spend about 23% 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 1.6× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.1% of residents and 71.7% of households own their home.
