What it costs to buy a home in Weymouth
A household needs to earn about $81,000 a year to comfortably buy the median Weymouth home, at 20% down and today's 30-year rate. That is below the area's own median income of $88,552, so a typical household can afford the median home outright.
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 Weymouth's effective rate of 2.27%, and insurance is estimated at 0.4% of home value a year.

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