Williamsdale in 2030: where the trends point

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.

Median home value$164,300 (2024)$236,000$172,000 to $326,000+6.2%

The median home would be worth 2.5 years of the median income in 2030, against 2.2 now.
