Oxoboxo River 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.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,179/mo (2024)	$1,470/mo	$1,200 to $1,790/mo	+3.7%
Median household income	$69,167 (2024)	$86,500	$73,000 to $102,000	+3.8%
Median home value	$246,200 (2024)	$354,000	$257,000 to $487,000	+6.2%

The median home would be worth 4.1 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.6 now.
