11 HOUSING IS LARGELY UNAFFORDABLE OCCUPANT AFFORDABILITY The Median House Price in the UN Global Sample of Cities (ratio 4.9) is well above 3.0 times the annual household income in the majority of metropolitan areas Only 13% of cities of the UN Global Sample have ratio less than 3.0 House Price-to-Household Income Ratio City A, Afforda 3.0 ble City Housing Sector Occupant Affordability Accepted Standard for Affordability (3 HH Incomes) Median Occupant Affordability UN Sample of Cities City B, Affordability Standard 3.0 City C, Median Affordabil ity 4.9 City D, Unafforda ble Cities
