New California in 2030: where the trends point

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 household income	$161,908 (2024)	$201,500	$170,500 to $238,500	+3.7%
Median home value	$464,500 (2024)	$655,000	$475,000 to $902,000	+5.9%

The median home would be worth 3.2 years of the median income in 2030, against 2.9 now.
