What the numbers mean in Puyallup city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Puyallup city median would spend about 22% 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 5.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 7.5% of residents and 51.3% of households own their home.
