Green Hill 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. On projected 2030 affordability, Green Hill does better than 59% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 55%.

MeasureLatest2030 projectionLikely rangeAvg. per year
Median rent$1,296/mo (2024)$1,630/mo$1,340 to $1,990/mo+3.9%
Median household income$91,818 (2024)$113,500$96,000 to $134,500+3.6%
Median home value$365,900 (2024)$526,000$382,000 to $725,000+6.2%

The median home would be worth 4.6 years of the median income in 2030, against 4.0 now.
