Start with the typical home: $195,166. Put 20% down and borrow $156,133 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

That is $1,081 a month in principal and interest.

The median household here earns $55,227 a year, $4,602 a month. So the payment takes 23.5% of income — rated “affordable” (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 13.9% in 2019.
