Perry Heights in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 18% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 18% 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, Perry Heights does better than 76% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 65%.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year

Median household income	$61,601 (2024)	$78,500	$66,500 to $93,000	+4.1%
Median home value	$166,700 (2024)	$242,000	$175,000 to $333,000	+6.4%

The median home would be worth 3.1 years of the median income in 2030, against 2.7 now.
