Start with the typical home: $371,454. Put 20% down and borrow $297,163 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

That is $2,057 a month in principal and interest.

The median household here earns $57,566 a year, $4,797 a month. So the payment takes 42.9% of income — rated “severe” (Lotvox ZIP bands: under 28% affordable · 28–36% stretched · 36%+ severe).

The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 17.0% in 2000.
