Buckhead in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 21% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 21% 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.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$2,482/mo (2024)	$3,170/mo	$2,600 to $3,870/mo	+4.2%
Median household income	$144,864 (2024)	$182,500	$154,000 to $215,500	+3.9%
Median home value	$466,100 (2024)	$671,000	$487,000 to $925,000	+6.3%

The median home would be worth 3.7 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.2 now.
