meir Deiore-cax earnings, which represent the combined income of two or more persons in a large proportion of families, amount to about $7,000 per household, according to the latest figures. Therefore, applying the guidelines, local families at the average income level may safely expend approximately $18,000 for a home.

Many Rappahannock County families have incomes that are higher or lower than the local norm. Those who are in the $20,000 or so income range buy more expensive homes but actually spend a smaller proportion of their income in doing so.

On the other hand, a family at the $6,500 level will be able to afford a home costing no more than $16,000 to $17,000.

As to carrying costs, which include mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance, they should be no greater than 1 /5th of monthly income, according to the recommendations.
