The short answer

Greentree is home to 11,537 people. Median household income is $145,823 a year and median rent is $2,176 a month, 17.9% 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 $438,400, about 3.0x annual median household income.

Greentree stands out on value for money. Home values run 25% below what its fundamentals predict in the same metro area. Also notable: After the median rent, with other prices set to the US average, the median household keeps about $119,300 a year, more than in 88% of places its size.

Greentree in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 18% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 18% 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, Greentree does better than 72% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 21%.

MeasureLatest2030 projectionLikely rangeAvg. per year
Median rent$2,176/mo (2024)$2,750/mo$2,260 to $3,360/mo+4.0%
Median household income$145,823 (2024)$182,000$153,500 to $215,000+3.7%
Median home value$438,400 (2024)$616,000$447,000 to $849,000+5.8%

The median home would be worth 3.4 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.0 now.
