๐ก How much income does it take to buy a home in your city?
This new 2025 data visualization says it all. The median U.S. home price is $402,300, which means buyers now need to earn at least $108,486/year just to qualifyโand thatโs the national average.
But the gap between cities is staggering:
- ๐ San Jose, CA: $501.8K income needed
- ๐ New York, NY: $202.2K
- ๐ San Francisco, CA: $338.4KVS
- ๐ Pittsburgh, PA: $64.1K
- ๐ Cleveland, OH: $63.6K
- ๐ Oklahoma City, OK: $73.1K
Same country. Totally different buying power.

๐ If youโre a remote worker or entrepreneur, this is your permission slip to stop overpaying for a zip code.
๐ And if youโre just trying to buy your first homeโlocation strategy matters more than ever.
