What the numbers mean in Athens town

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Athens town median would spend about 19.6% 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 2.5× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 9.7% of residents and 74% of households own their home.
