Linda in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 20% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 20% 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, Linda does better than 40% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 81%.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,211/mo (2024)	$1,550/mo	$1,280 to $1,890/mo	+4.3%
Median household income	$72,776 (2024)	$94,500	$80,000 to $111,500	+4.4%
Median home value	$371,700 (2024)	$547,000	$397,000 to $753,000	+6.6%

The median home would be worth 5.8 years of the median income in 2030, against 5.1 now.
