What the numbers mean in Olympia city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Olympia city median would spend about 23.5% 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 6.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 14.8% of residents and 49.3% of households own their home.
