Here's a list from Yahoo! with the median family incomes for a number of citites. Right off I can say that Detroit's housing price to median income ratio is going to spank Bozeman's, making it look generous.

What a fun blog. I wish I'd found it sooner.

I should really go to the trouble of finding a list of average household income by city and produce a ratio of home cost to income.

I have a suspicion that California would have a much higher ratio.

It's also interesting to compare the average wages in those towns. Houses are half the cost in Billings, but Billings wage earners make the same or more as Bozemanites. The difference, as I remember, is even more dramatic when you compare to Minneapolis or Connecticut/Massachusetts/etc, and even more shocking when you don't take the median house price but look at low-cost housing.
