Country Homes 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, Country Homes does better than 46% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 86%.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,286/mo (2024)	$1,690/mo	$1,380 to $2,060/mo	+4.6%
Median household income	$84,653 (2024)	$110,500	$93,500 to $131,000	+4.6%
Median home value	$429,400 (2024)	$636,000	$462,000 to $876,000	+6.8%

The median home would be worth 5.8 years of the median income in 2030, against 5.1 now.
