What the numbers mean in Spokane city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Spokane city median would spend about 20.8% 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 5.0× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 14.6% of residents and 58.3% of households own their home.
