What the numbers mean in Whitewater city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Whitewater city median would spend about 24.1% 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 4.3× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 29.2% of residents and 30.3% of households own their home.
