Robinwood in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 19% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 19% 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, Robinwood does better than 61% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 12%.

MeasureLatest2030 projectionLikely rangeAvg. per year
Median rent$1,419/mo (2024)$1,810/mo$1,480 to $2,200/mo+4.1%
Median household income$90,840 (2024)$117,000$99,000 to $138,500+4.3%
Median home value$341,300 (2024)$476,000$345,000 to $655,000+5.7%

The median home would be worth 4.1 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.8 now.
