RealtyTrac Lists Most and Least Affordable Housing Markets


IRVINE, CA -- RealtyTrac is releasing a list of the Most and Least Affordable Markets for Millenials to Buy and Rent, looking at counties with a population of 100,000 or more where millennials (those born from 1977 to 1992) are at least 24 percent of the total population (compared to 22 percent of the population nationwide).

We excluded counties that experienced a decrease in the total number of millennials from 2007 to 2013. 

Highlights include:

·         Multiple counties in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco topped the least affordable lists to buy AND to rent.

·         Surprisingly, counties in the DC metro area made the list of most affordable places to buy and rent - Arlington County made the list for the most affordable counties to rent and Prince George’s County made the list of the most affordable counties to buy a home.

·         Counties in the Seattle, Portland and Charleston metro areas rounded out the list of the least affordable places to buy.

·         Counties in the Orlando, Jacksonville and Flagstaff metro areas finished the list with the least affordable places to rent.
