What it costs to buy a home in Newburg
A household needs to earn about $93,000 a year to comfortably buy the median Newburg home, at 20% down and today's 30-year rate. That is only a little above the area's median income of $89,563; the gap is small, which keeps homes within reach of local pay.
Where the monthly payment goes
Assumes a 20% down payment, a 6.6% 30-year fixed rate, and a 28% share of income going to the payment. The rate is the 2026-07-23 30-year fixed average, series MORTGAGE30US from the St. Louis Fed, which publishes Freddie Mac's weekly survey. Against the median home value, property tax uses Newburg's effective rate of 1.09%, and insurance is estimated at 0.4% of home value a year.
Renting versus buying

Sources and methodology
Every measure on this page is scored for each neighborhood, then rolled up to Newburg. Scores are absolute rather than ranked, which means a 60 in Newburg 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.
