The short answer

Greenville is home to 9,280 people. Median household income is $171,540 a year and median rent is $2,542 a month, 17.8% 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 $858,200, about 5.0x annual median household income.

The story in Greenville is how fast things are changing. Housing became less affordable between 2019 and 2024: rent went from 7.1% to 17.8% of income. Also notable: Household income growth is -6.3% a year, against 4.4% a year in its closest peers.

Greenville in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 19% of the median income in 2030, up from 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, Greenville does better than 45% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 0%.
