Lansdowne in 2030: where the trends point
If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 17% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 17% 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, Lansdowne does better than 55% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 42%.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median rent | $2,365/mo (2024) | $3,030/mo | $2,480 to $3,690/mo | +4.2% |
| Median household income | $168,731 (2024) | $214,500 | $181,500 to $254,000 | +4.1% |
| Median home value | $774,300 (2024) | $1,104,000 | $802,000 to $1,521,000 | +6.1% |
