What the numbers mean in Parkersburg city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Parkersburg city median would spend about 20% 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 23% of residents and 63.6% of households own their home.
