Comparing salaries across countries and regions is hard if you compare at exchange rates. It's better to use "purchasing power parity".

To a first approximation, how much house does your $30k income buy/rent you where you live?

(Even within the UK, I went from "choice of buying 2 bed flat or renting a 3 bed one" to "4 bed detached house" at the same salary by moving further away from London).
