What the numbers mean in Kingwood city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Kingwood city median would spend about 11.3% 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 2.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 15.4% of residents and 65.1% of households own their home.
