What the numbers mean in Wauwatosa city

Housing cost measured against local earnings.

A household earning the Wauwatosa city median would spend about 17.6% 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 3.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 5.9% of residents and 60.3% of households own their home.
