The site relied on income, home-price and mortgage data to determine how many hours an average homeowner would have to work in each state to afford an average home in that state.

In Ohio, homeowners would have to work 30.76 hours a month to buy a home, the fewest hours of all states.

On the other extreme is Hawaii, where homeowners require 88.13 hours of labor to afford a home.

Relatively high income coupled with low home prices landed Midwest-area states in all the top 10 spots on the list. Following Ohio, in order, were Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
