Guilford Lake in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 12% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 12% 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	$920/mo (2023)	$1,210/mo	$980 to $1,500/mo	+4.0%
Median household income	$92,768 (2024)	$122,500	$103,500 to $145,000	+4.7%
Median home value	$215,500 (2024)	$313,000	$227,000 to $431,000	+6.4%

The median home would be worth 2.6 years of the median income in 2030, against 2.3 now.
