LEADING OFF
Happy Friday and welcome to Rhode Map, your daily guide to everything happening in the Ocean State. I’m Dan McGowan and I’m not ashamed to say that I now own a little bit of dirt from McCoy Stadium. Follow me on Twitter @DanMcGowan or send tips to Dan.McGowan@globe.com.

If you’re making $70,000 a year, the only communities where you are likely to find an affordable home to buy are Central Falls, Providence (not counting the East Side), and Pawtucket, according to a report released Friday by HousingWorks RI.
The annual fact book compares household income to the median-priced home in every community in the state, showing that you likely need to earn more than $190,000 a year to afford a home on the East Side of Providence, and $238,000 to buy a place on Block Island.
The report comes at a particularly difficult time for Rhode Island because state leaders were planning to include a large affordable housing bond on the November ballot, but the pandemic has put everything on hold.
You should read the full report, but here’s a look at what you need to earn to afford a median-priced home in each community.
CENTRAL FALLS: Income needed: $49,338 / Median-priced home: $147,450
PROVIDENCE (Without the East Side): Income needed: $65,468 / Median-priced home: $203,700
