The salary you need to buy a home in your area.

I wonder if this is true. And we wonder why most people who work can't afford to buy houses.

 

Interesting chart.
I think the west coast is way more accurate than the east coast.
There's no chance to buy a home in NYC on 86k salary.

 

That's a lot of wondering with no effort at verification.

Stick a one in front of the NYC number, and I think you got it.
