House payments 76% higher (CPI-adjusted) than in 1970

From http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/retirement/2008-05-19-generation-x-retirement_N.htm:
Relying on government figures, Warren found that health insurance soared 74%, in inflation-adjusted dollars, since 1970 and that the mortgage payment that a median-income family is paying for a three-bedroom, one-bath house jumped 76%.

It would be nice if the article included a reference to the study that gives those figures.
