The short answer

Hampton Manor is home to 5,334 people. Median household income is $98,364 a year and median rent is $1,188 a month, 14.5% 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 $239,400, about 2.4x annual median household income.

Hampton Manor is defined by its growth. Household income growth is 11.1% a year, against 5.1% a year in its closest peers. Also notable: Rent took 19.1% of the median income in the 2019 survey and 14.5% in 2024. In the 25 places most like it the share rose 0.9 points on average, so affordability held up better here.

Hampton Manor in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 14% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 14% 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, Hampton Manor does better than 92% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 15%.
