Houston's housing affordability gap

A Kinder Institute analysis showed the median home sale price in 2024 exceeded the amount a median-income household could afford to spend on a home, a difference termed the "affordability gap," in all Houston-area counties.

Note: The amount a household could afford is based on households spending 30% of income on housing and several assumptions related to the cost of home ownership. Click here for a detailed explanation of the methodology.
