What the numbers mean in Arlington city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Arlington city median would spend about 24.9% 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 5.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11% of residents and 63.4% of households own their home.
