Kingstowne in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 19% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 19% 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, Kingstowne does better than 52% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 14%.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$2,406/mo (2024)	$3,060/mo	$2,510 to $3,730/mo	+4.1%
Median household income	$151,535 (2024)	$191,000	$161,500 to $226,000	+3.9%
Median home value	$626,700 (2024)	$875,000	$635,000 to $1,205,000	+5.7%

The median home would be worth 4.6 years of the median income in 2030, against 4.1 now.
