“Affordability — a measure of the ability
of the average household to buy a home at current mortgage rates — has long
been an issue for low-income buyers. But in some markets, such as Salinas,

with healthier incomes are feeling the squeeze as well. And the number of such
markets could climb if mortgage rates rise this year, as many economists
expect.”
