QUESTION:  Why does the Geographic Assessor Two City Comparison profile 'renter only' analyses?

 

Too many variables affect a home ownership analysis for ERI to make an appropriate set of assumptions for a cost-of-living comparison based solely on inputted earnings levels.  However, the Relocation Assessor is designed to allow you to input the many additional variables (down payment and interest rate information, for example) that affect a home ownership comparison.
