Belvedere Park in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 28% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 28% now.

Citytistics projections to 2030: each figure's own trend, blended with the typical trend across the places we rate, eased toward long-run US growth and carried forward from the latest release. The range is where 80% of places landed when we tested the same method on past releases. On projected 2030 affordability, Belvedere Park does better than 19% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 90%.

MeasureLatest2030 projectionLikely rangeAvg. per year
Median rent$1,534/mo (2024)$2,000/mo$1,640 to $2,430/mo+4.5%

Median home value$296,600 (2024)$443,000$321,000 to $610,000+6.9%

The median home would be worth 5.3 years of the median income in 2030, against 4.5 now.
