4. Minimum income is based on a calculation of estimated monthly debt service payment, insurance, and taxes for the median value home using average mortgage terms for the specified year from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Due to differences in average mortgage terms over the years, the degree of change in minimum income may not seem to match the degree of change in median home value.
