What the numbers mean in Beaver Dam city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Beaver Dam city median would spend about 16.4% 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 2.8× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.6% of residents and 54.3% of households own their home.
