Cheverly in 2030: where the trends point
If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 19% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 19% 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, Cheverly does better than 57% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 22%.
| Measure | Latest | 2030 projection | Likely range | Avg. per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median rent | $1,907/mo (2024) | $2,470/mo | $2,030 to $3,010/mo | +4.4% |
| Median household income | $123,535 (2024) | $156,500 | $132,500 to $185,000 | +4.0% |
| Median home value | $470,700 (2024) | $662,000 | $481,000 to $912,000 | +5.8% |
| Population | 6,164 (2025) | 6,210 | 5,960 to 6,480 | +0.2% |
