FloridaHallandale Beach, FLHallandale BeachHallandale Beach

The short answer

Hallandale Beach is home to 41,854 people. Median household income is $52,340 a year and median rent is $1,653 a month, 37.9% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). That is above the usual 30% line for cost burden. The median home is valued at $279,100, about 5.3x annual median household income.

What sets Hallandale Beach apart is how tight household budgets are. After the median rent, with other prices set to the US average, the median household keeps about $30,800 a year, less than in 98% of places its size. Also notable: Unemployment is 7.5%, against 4.9% in its closest peers.
