How much you need to earn to rent in Bellerose Terrace

Many landlords and housing programs use 30% of gross income as the most a household should spend on rent.

At that guideline, the median gross rent of $1,449 a month ($17,388 a year) needs an income of about $58,000 a year.

Income against housing costs since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median household income	$109,219 (±$12,112)	$166,086 (±$4,942)	+52.1%	Up after inflation
Median gross rent	$1,201 (±$225)	$1,449 (±$173)	+20.6%	No measurable change after inflation
Median home value	$447,000 (±$32,158)	$592,400 (±$72,911)	+32.5%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
