What the numbers mean in Dunbar city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Dunbar city median would spend about 19.9% 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 2.2× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 18.3% of residents and 58.1% of households own their home.
