Norwood in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 10% of the median income in 2030, down from 11% 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.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$833/mo (2024)	$1,010/mo	$830 to $1,230/mo	+3.2%
Median household income	$88,661 (2024)	$120,000	$101,500 to $142,000	+5.1%
Median home value	$243,000 (2024)	$348,000	$253,000 to $480,000	+6.2%

The median home would be worth 2.9 years of the median income in 2030, against 2.7 now.
