The U.S. economy has been hit by two major shocks in the last 20 years: the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. While stock indices and supply chains have largely recovered, these events have had significant implications for the current state of the American housing market.
In the wake of the Great Recession, which lasted from December 2007 to June 2009, home prices fell precipitously, bottoming out in February 2011 at 25% lower than the pre-recession high reported in July 2006, according to the Case-Shiller index. Plunging home values left millions of Americans hesitant to invest in a home and led to a sharp decline in the number of skilled laborers in the homebuilding sector. As a result, there were only 6.8 million new housing construction starts in the 2010s, down from 12.3 million in the 2000s, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
The reduced rate of new home construction created a housing shortage estimated at up to 4.7 million units. When limited housing supply met rising demand precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, list prices surged. According to the Case-Shiller index, home prices have risen by more than 55% since early 2020. Over roughly the same period, median wages among full-time workers increased by just 27%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Now, millions of Americans are priced out of the housing market.
The median list price of a home in the United States is now $425,000, which is 5.2 times higher than the national median household income of $81,604. For context, the median list price in the U.S. was only 3.5 times higher than the median household income just a decade ago. In certain local markets, the mismatch between incomes and home prices is even more pronounced.
Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Realtor.com, 24/7 Wall St. identified the least affordable housing market in each state. We reviewed incomes and list prices for more than 860 U.S. counties and county equivalents with available data and ranked them by their affordability ratio—the local median home list price divided by the local median household income. Income data are one-year estimates from the Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey. Median list price data are from Realtor.com and are current as of September 2025. It is important to note that Vermont has only one county with available data. As a result, the listed county is included by default, not necessarily because it is less affordable than others.
Among the 50 counties and county equivalents on this list, home prices range from 4.7 to 19.8 times the median household income. However, because 2024 income data is not yet available for every U.S. county, there is one state where the county identified as least affordable is actually more affordable than the state overall. Encouragingly, median list prices have fallen year-over-year in 18 counties on this list. Whether this trend will continue remains to be seen.
In many of these places, a lack of affordable housing is likely due in part to the types of homes being put up for sale. Within any given market, larger homes often command higher prices, and in most counties on this list, the typical listed home is larger than the typical listed home statewide.
These are the least affordable housing markets in every state.
Why It Matters

Supply constraints and rising demand have given way to a housing affordability crisis in the United States. Even without considering historically high mortgage rates, the typical American home has a median list price that is over five times what the typical household earns in a year. Some parts of the country have been hit especially hard by the affordability crisis. In these places, home prices are much further removed from incomes than is common in most of the rest of the country.
