Cross Roads in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 17% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 17% 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	$1,750/mo (2024)	$2,140/mo	$1,760 to $2,610/mo	+3.4%
Median household income	$124,145 (2024)	$150,000	$127,000 to $177,500	+3.2%
Median home value	$632,300 (2024)	$880,000	$639,000 to $1,213,000	+5.7%
Population	1,965 (2025)	2,090	2,000 to 2,180	+1.2%

The median home would be worth 5.9 years of the median income in 2030, against 5.1 now.
