Springdale in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 6% of the median income in 2030, about the same as 6% 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, Springdale does better than 88% of places. Its projected home value growth beats 21%.

Median rent$879/mo (2024)$1,090/mo$890 to $1,330/mo+3.6%

Median home value$493,900 (2024)$694,000$504,000 to $956,000+5.8%

The median home would be worth 3.4 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.0 now.
