*The HAI is the ration of the median family income to the income required to buy the median-priced house using standard mortgage financing at the current interest rate. Standard financing is a fixed-rate, 30-634 loan covering 80 percent of the cost of the home. A HAI of 1.00 indicates that the median family income is exactly equal to the required income to qualify for the standard loan to purchase the median-priced house.

** First-time home buyer is assumed to purchase a home equal to the first quartile home price using a 90% home loan at an interest rate 0.5 percent greater than the standard current rate.
