Harvey in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 13% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 13% 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	$845/mo (2024)	$1,090/mo	$890 to $1,330/mo	+4.3%
Median household income	$78,674 (2024)	$101,500	$85,500 to $120,000	+4.3%
Median home value	$262,800 (2024)	$377,000	$273,000 to $519,000	+6.2%

The median home would be worth 3.7 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.3 now.
