Indian Hills in 2030: where the trends point
If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 23% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 23% 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, Indian Hills does better than 21% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 67%.
| Measure | Latest | 2030 projection | Likely range | Avg. per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median rent | $1,496/mo (2024) | $1,900/mo | $1,560 to $2,310/mo | +4.0% |
| Median household income | $78,278 (2024) | $98,500 | $83,000 to $116,500 | +3.9% |
| Median home value | $483,800 (2024) | $702,000 | $509,000 to $967,000 | +6.4% |
The median home would be worth 7.1 years of the median income in 2030, against 6.2 now.
