This statistic highlights a stark contrast with California, emphasizing the ongoing affordability crisis affecting many regions across the country. As housing prices continue to rise, the disparity in affordability serves as a crucial metric for policymakers and industry stakeholders seeking to address the growing divide in homeownership access.
Key findings from the analysis include:
