    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The typical American cannot afford to buy a home in a growing number of communities across the nation, according to common lending standards.

    “The dynamics influencing the U.S. housing market appear to continuously work against everyday Americans, potentially to the point where they could start to have a significant impact on home prices,” ATTOM CEO Rob Barber said in a statement Thursday.

    ATTOM’s data adds to a growing body of real estate research in recent years that highlights the lack of affordable housing .

    Factoring in a mortgage payment, homeowners insurance and property taxes, the typical home priced today would require 35% of someone’s annual wages, ATTOM said.

    Cities with the most unaffordable homes include Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, San Diego and Orange County, California, ATTOM said.

    Communities surrounding Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Philadelphia or Pittsburgh have the most affordable homes compared with median salaries for residents there, according to the firm.
