Start with the typical home: $381,097. Put 20% down and borrow $304,878 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

That is $2,111 a month in principal and interest.

The median household here earns $74,867 a year, $6,239 a month. So the payment takes 33.8% 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 12.0% in 2000.
