                     Measures the degree to which a typical family can afford the monthly
                     mortgage payments on a typical home.
                     
                     Value of 100 means that a family with the median income has exactly
                     enough income to qualify for a mortgage on a median-priced home. An
                     index above 100 signifies that family earning the median income has
                     more than enough income to qualify for a mortgage loan on a
                     median-priced home, assuming a 20 percent down payment. This index is
                     calculated for fixed mortgages.
