Adkins Valuation Methodology  —  Justified Rate: The 30-year fixed mortgage rate at which the current home price is exactly justified by local median household income at the 28% threshold. If the Justified Rate exceeds the live market rate (6.46%), the city is underpriced relative to income. If below, households must spend more than 28% of income to carry the mortgage.   Income Used: The actual percentage of gross monthly household income consumed by a 30-year fixed mortgage payment at the current live rate. Values above 28% indicate homes are priced beyond the justified affordability threshold.
