Walnut Grove in 2030: where the trends point

If recent trends hold, the median rent will take about 17% 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.

Measure	Latest	2030 projection	Likely range	Avg. per year
Median rent	$1,225/mo (2024)	$1,550/mo	$1,270 to $1,880/mo	+3.9%
Median household income	$83,208 (2024)	$106,500	$90,000 to $126,000	+4.2%
Median home value	$264,300 (2024)	$385,000	$279,000 to $530,000	+6.5%
Population	1,735 (2025)	2,030	1,950 to 2,120	+3.2%

The median home would be worth 3.6 years of the median income in 2030, against 3.2 now.
