The short answer

Eggertsville is home to 14,894 people. Median household income is $82,767 a year and median rent is $886 a month, 12.8% 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 $248,100, about 3.0x annual median household income.

Eggertsville stands out on value for money. Rent is light relative to pay, but the county has a FEMA natural hazard risk score of 98 out of 100. Budget for insurance before counting the savings. Also notable: The median rent takes 12.8% of the median household's income, a smaller share than in 96% of places its size.

Eggertsville in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 13% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 13% 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, Eggertsville does better than 84% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 73%.

MeasureLatest2030 projectionLikely rangeAvg. per year
Median rent$886/mo (2024)$1,110/mo$910 to $1,350/mo+3.8%

Median home value$248,100 (2024)$362,000$263,000 to $499,000+6.5%

The median home would be worth 3.5 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.0 now.
