The price-to-income ratio compares house prices with the income available to households. The OECD compiles it from national house-price and income measures on a 2015=100 base; Younivi republishes the OECD measure. It is an affordability indicator, not a transaction price. A value above 100 means prices have risen faster than incomes since the 2015 reference.
Use changes over time to see whether housing has become more stretched relative to incomes. The direction is more informative than comparing raw levels between economies, because income definitions, taxes and housing markets differ. A rising ratio can reflect faster price growth, weaker income growth, or both.
The ratio does not include mortgage interest, deposits or other ownership costs. It uses broad aggregates and does not show how housing is distributed across households or cities. It cannot value a particular property or predict future prices.
