What the numbers mean in Barre city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Barre city median would spend about 22.2% 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 3.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 19.3% of residents and 50.1% of households own their home.
