This is simplistic to the point of being misleading.

First, your income alone doesn't matter. What matters is income relative to the cost of living in your particular location. You can try to estimate "real" income at the state level, though even within each state there can be significant variation by region.

Second, how do you define "comfortable?"

they define it in the paper, its not having to use more than 50% of your income for housing.
