In Maryland, 1 in 7 households spend half or more of their income on housing. As of 2021, the income needed to purchase a median-value home in Maryland is $86,209, but the median income of Maryland renters is $51,100. By allowing homeowners to purchase affordable homes with mortgages that are limited to no more than a third of a family’s income, Habitat Choptank partners with families to build health and safety, financial security, independence and hope.
