What it costs to own and to rent

20% down payment

To own the typical homeTo own. The typical home’s value, houses and condos (Zillow Home Value Index, Sep 2026), less a 20% down payment, borrowed over 30 years at 7.32% — the national benchmark for a 30-year fixed loan (Freddie Mac’s weekly survey, via FRED, Oct 22, 2026), not a quote for any borrower. A month adds property tax, homeowners insurance, any mortgage insurance, utilities and upkeep, each with where it comes from; HOA fees and flood insurance only if you enter them. The tax bill is the area’s median from New Jersey’s assessment records unless you enter a bill — never worked out from the price.

Money gone each monthMoney gone each month. The part of a month of owning that does not come back: interest, tax, insurance, mortgage insurance, utilities, upkeep and any fees. The rest, principal, pays the loan down and stays the owner’s as equity. These are the first month’s figures: each month after, a little more of the payment is principal.

  1. aACSACS. American Community Survey: the Census Bureau’s rolling survey. Figures here are five-year estimates, so “2023” means the survey years 2019–2023, not a count taken that year. 5-year vintages overlap by four years, so consecutive estimates are not independent measurements and short windows understate the real separation.
  2. bAffordability ratios are computed by this platform from two published series, not published by either source. The monthly value or rent series is averaged over the survey year to match the annual income denominator.
  3. Some values here were matched to this place by name and county rather than by FIPS code. That is a weaker claim than an exact identifier match, and Zillow publishes no FIPS below county level.
  4. Some metrics rank this region against fewer peers than the level contains, because not every region carries every metric. Compare ranks only within the cohort size each one reports.

Change ranks compare five-year movement, not price or size. Rank 1 is the largest rise—or the smallest where lower is better, such as unemployment.

Figures marked ± come from the Census Bureau’s survey and carry its 90% margin of errorMargin of error. How far a survey figure could be from the true value. A ± figure here is the Census Bureau’s 90% margin: the true value is very likely within that range.: the true figure is very likely within that range of the estimate. Where the margins cannot tell a place from its neighbours, its rank reads as a range. “No sampling error” marks a figure the Census fixes to its population estimates rather than estimating from the survey, such as a county’s population.
