Start with the typical home: $305,280. Put 20% down and borrow $244,224 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

That is $1,691 a month in principal and interest.

The median household here earns $61,505 a year, $5,125 a month. So the payment takes 33.0% of income — rated “stretched” (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 28.7% in 2022.
