We all want to live in a place that is comfortable, nice, and affordable. A house in Lafayette that sells for $350,000 might cost $150,000 in another city - it actually seems kind of random sometimes!

Our friends at RealtyTrac and Forbes found the least affordable places in the US to live, based on the percentage of average wages for a monthly house note on a median priced home for that market. Steer clear of the areas below if you're not making tons of money, and it's a safe bet that you need an above average income to live in California these days!
