Garden View in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 22% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 22% 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	$940/mo (2024)	$1,180/mo	$960 to $1,430/mo	+3.8%
Median household income	$52,222 (2024)	$64,500	$54,500 to $76,000	+3.6%
Median home value	$166,400 (2024)	$232,000	$169,000 to $320,000	+5.7%

The median home would be worth 3.6 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.2 now.
