That's because Harris County is four times the size of NYC. You can find a decently affordable home out in Paterson, too.

Paterson is not affordable relative to local incomes. Median household income in Paterson is only $48k, which is less than it is in Houston.

Open up Zillow and you will find very few habitable homes on the market in Paterson for under $300k.

And south park and Lawndale are also not affordable, relative to local household incomes. You can make a statistic do whatever you want.
