Most Affordable Places in America<\/em><\/h2>\n

Home affordability is more than the price a buyer agrees to pay a seller. In a new study, SmartAsset factored in closing costs, real estate<\/a> taxes, homeowner\u2019s insurance, and mortgage<\/a> rates for every county and city in the U.S. with a population of more than 5,000.<\/p>\n

Yes, It’s Still More Affordable to Buy Than Rent<\/p>\n

SmartAsset pinpointed the most affordable<\/strong> cities and counties in its analysis by considering the total housing<\/a> costs on an average house that accounted for the smallest proportion of the median income.<\/p>\n

The following 10 places ranked tops on SmartAsset\u2019s list for affordability (listed<\/a> below with average annual mortgage payment):<\/p>\n
