A good way to judge both the affordability of the housing and the cost of living in Alamo is by simply calculating the maximum that should be spent on housing, otherwise known as the debt-to-income ratio (DTI). The plan is to avoid spending more than 28 percent of the gross income on costs that pertain to housing and no more than 36 percent on all expenses and debts. Alamo has a median income of about $85,029 for people who own homes. Based on that number, a maximum of $1,984 should be spent on expenses related to housing. Renters have a slightly different median income, which is $16,917. Based on this average, renters should spend no more than $395 on all rental costs if they want to maintain a non-impoverished standard of living.
