Median household income is the income level at which half of an area’s households earn more and half earn less. Sourced from the Census American Community Survey, it is the standard measure of local earning power.
Median of all household incomes in the area
Income is the denominator of affordability: pairing it with home prices yields the price-to-income ratio, and with housing costs yields cost burden. A market where prices climb faster than income is growing less affordable even if raw prices look reasonable.
