Income is ISTAT's median net income of households, imputed rents left out: the whole household's income after taxes and contributions, from the EU-SILC survey. It is published by region only, about two years late, so a province or city takes its region's figure and today's price is set against the latest year. Prices are OMI valuations, not sale prices. Italy sets no limit on the payment as a share of income: lenders must assess each borrower's creditworthiness.
