What housing costs in Atlanta today

The median tracked ZIP in Atlanta has a typical home value of $384,337 and typical rent of $1,897 per month. Across tracked ZIPs the typical home value runs from $204,981 in 30303 to $1,562,975 in 30327 — a factor of 7.6. A mover picks one of those ZIPs rather than their average, so the metro median is the wrong number to plan against.

The home-value-to-annual-rent ratio is 16.9, which is the measure that decides whether renting first is the cheaper way to arrive.

What income the move needs

The metro income-needed indicator stands at $103,959.

It changed -2.62% year over year, so the salary that worked for a mover last year is not the salary that works now.
