What the numbers mean in Buffalo city
Housing cost measured against local earnings.
A household earning the Buffalo city median would spend about 20.7% 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 4.4× the median household income; nationally that ratio sits near 4.5×. Poverty affects 11.9% of residents and 75.9% of households own their home.
