The short answer

Four Corners is home to 65,048 people. Median household income is $72,879 a year and median rent is $1,847 a month, 30.4% of income (a ratio of two medians, not any one household's burden). That is above the usual 30% line for cost burden. The median home is valued at $351,800, about 4.8x annual median household income.

The story in Four Corners is how fast things are changing. Home values rose 14% a year between the 2019 and 2024 surveys while incomes rose 5%, a wider gap than in 98% of places its size. Also notable: Owning with a mortgage costs only about $137 a month more than the median rent, a smaller gap than in 92% of places its size.
