What each type of home costs
| Home | Median rent | On $60k | On $80k | On $100k | Salary for rent under 30% of pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All homes | $400 | 41% | 33% | 27% | $70,000 |
| 3-bedroom house | $400 | 41% | 33% | 27% | $70,000 |
A common guide is that rent above 30% of your gross income is "rental stress". In Pyrenees, keeping the median rent under that line takes a salary of about $70,000, or a combined household income of that much if you rent with someone.
