What the numbers mean in Williamson city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Williamson city median would spend about 27.6% 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 3.9× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 32.3% of residents and 37.1% of households own their home.
