and Zillow

Lincoln's median household income: $140,880
Lowest priced single family house currently available (according to
Zillow): $1.89 million
Income required for a 1.89 million dollar house: $281,000

The median of all housing units is right around a million, which is just
barely affordable on the median income. The census median includes all the
income and age restricted units so I am not entirely sure how to calculate
the true median, but at a guess it's higher.

Most of Lincoln could not currently afford to buy a single family house
here. You may or may not view that as a problem.
