Pa. House passes budget

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A new study from ATTOM looking into home affordability found that three Pennsylvania counties were among the areas where the lowest income was needed to afford a home. 

It included Fayette County, Cambria County in western-central Pennsylvania, and Schuylkill County in eastern Pennsylvania. 

In Cambria they found to afford a median-priced home, one would have to make $14,715 and in Fayette County, one would need to be making $23,555. 

Meanwhile, over in Schuylkill County, it would require a salary of $20,679. 

Their research found that home affordability worsened across the country in this past quarter with the price of homes and average wages required jumping by 33-percent.
