The short answer

Clinton is home to 23,612 people. Median household income is $116,194 a year and median rent is $1,698 a month, 17.5% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). Rent pressure is lighter than in most places. The median home is valued at $449,100, about 3.9x annual median household income.

Clinton stands out on how people work. Unemployment is 4.9%, against 2.8% in its closest peers. Also notable: Rent took 19.7% of the median income in the 2019 survey and 17.5% in 2024. In the 25 places most like it the share rose 0.9 points on average, so affordability held up better here.

Clinton in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 18% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 18% 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, Clinton does better than 59% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 92%.
