Family needs to make $107,700 a year to own a home.

Apartment in a moderate-cost area is about $70,000-$100,000/year.

Median salary in the US is $59,300

What considered poverty level in the US for: 1 person: $15,060 2 people: $20,440 3 people: $25,820 4 people: $31,200

According to recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, around 50% of Americans make $70,000 or more annually.

That means about 50% of the US can not afford a place to live.
