What the numbers mean in Kent city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Kent city median would spend about 24.3% 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 5.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 10.6% of residents and 56.9% of households own their home.
