Is Fort Carson, Colorado affordable?
Simple answer
It's tight.
Typical rent is $2,180 a month, or $26,160 a year. Typical pay is $66,237 a year. Rent is 39% of that pay. That is over the 30% line. A lot of families would feel the squeeze.
The middle rent among places we list in this state is $1,668 a month. Fort Carson is higher.
We can't compare home prices with pay, because one of those Census numbers is missing.
The 30% rule is a budget guide. It is not a benefit rule, and it is not your landlord's rule.
Taxes, childcare, and your own rent can change the picture. Benefit rules follow the state, not the city line.
