Jersey Housing Affordability Index
The Jersey Housing Affordability Index (JHAI) indicates whether a working household with average (mean) income is able to purchase a property affordably. The level of the overall index does not represent any specific level of affordability but instead is designed to track overall affordability over time.
In 2021:
- overall housing affordability worsened on an annual basis
- 2 bedroom houses were more affordable than in 2020
all other property types were less affordable to purchase than in 2020
a working household with mean net income was not able to service a mortgage affordably on the purchase price of a median-priced house of any size or a 2 bedroom flat
a working household with mean net income was able to service a mortgage affordably on the purchase price of a median priced 1 bedroom flat
