The Coinscribed Home Affordability Index ranks 30 major US metros by the household income you'd need to afford the median home under the 28% rule. Every number is computed from clear assumptions — 20% down, 30-year fixed, plus taxes and insurance — using the same math as our mortgage calculator. Free, no signup. Built to help buyers and renters see where owning a home is realistically within reach.
