A household needs to earn about $28,000 a year to comfortably buy the median Cement home, at 20% down and today's 30-year rate. That is below the area's own median income of $55,865, so a typical household can afford the median home outright.

Sources and methodology
Every measure on this page is scored for each neighborhood, then rolled up to Cement. Scores are absolute rather than ranked, which means a 60 in Cement represents the same real quantity as a 60 anywhere else, and the ranking is a weighted average of those absolutes. The map colors come from a national scale calibrated against a population weighted random sample of 5,000 neighborhoods. That absolute scoring is what no other places-to-live ranking does: it puts a single neighborhood, a town, a metro, and a state on one scale, so the same 40 measures answer both which metro to move to and which street inside it to buy on. Read the full methodology.
