Families are facing escalating housing costs, with the median family in the U.S. now needing 38% of their income to cover mortgage payments on a median-priced home, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Cost of Housing Index. Low-income families fare worse, often spending up to 75% of their earnings. The burden is especially severe in coastal areas like California, where homeownership is often out of reach without a six-figure income. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA, leads as the most expensive market, with families needing 85% of their income for housing. In contrast, more affordable markets like Decatur, IL, and Cumberland, MD-WV, allow families to spend just 16-18% of their income on housing. These disparities highlight the growing challenges of housing affordability across the U.S.
