Marin County Census Data for Renters and Owners is worth considering

A comparison of Marin County Census Data, listing both Renter and Owner Costs relative to each Municipality, is worth doing for your city.

Here's the 2023 Data for Fairfax, CA:

Owner-occupied housing unit rate, 2018-202263.6%
Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2018-2022$1,006,100
Median selected monthly owner costs -with a mortgage, 2018-2022$3,925
Median selected monthly owner costs -without a mortgage, 2018-2022$1,084

A comprehensive study indicating where relatively low-cost housing exists in Marin would be worth doing as a beginning point of any "affordable housing" discussion.
