Oak Grove in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 25% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 24% 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, Oak Grove does better than 18% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 69%.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,744/mo (2024)	$2,240/mo	$1,840 to $2,730/mo	+4.3%
Median household income	$86,226 (2024)	$109,500	$92,500 to $130,000	+4.1%
Median home value	$515,700 (2024)	$749,000	$544,000 to $1,032,000	+6.4%

The median home would be worth 6.8 years of the median income in 2030, against 6.0 now.
