Against Harris County at 49.5%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $35,281 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

At $1,091 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Houston commands. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.
