What the numbers mean in Elkins city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Elkins city median would spend about 22.5% 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 2.7× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 16.8% of residents and 62.7% of households own their home.
