Where can I afford to live?
Enter your household income and choose buying or renting. We list the zip codes (with at least 5,000 residents) where the typical home or rent fits a common rule of thumb: a home priced at no more than 3 to 5 times your yearly income, or rent under 25 to 35% of your monthly income. Values are Census medians, so half the homes in each zip cost less and half cost more.
Changing between buy and rent updates the budget rule after you search.
