A good indicator of the general affordability of housing in Cochran, GA, is the percentage of monthly income that should be spent on housing expenses, otherwise known as the debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Generally speaking, no more than 28 percent of your total gross income should be spent on your housing expenses and not more than 36 percent of your gross income on total expenses, including debts. In Cochran, the median monthly income is $67,245 for those who own their own homes.

Renters, on the other hand, earn about $29,672, per the median income in the area. That would allow for renters to spend up to $692 on monthly rental expenses.
