An estimate. BLS publishes no metro employment total at the aggregation levels this app reads, so this is the sum of the member counties it does publish. The arithmetic is printed below.

A percentile here is a min-max scaling of average rank: the smallest published value in the cohort is 0 and the largest is 100, and tied values share the average of the ranks they span. It is not the share of entities below the value, so 0 means smallest, not none below. Entities that did not publish the metric are outside the cohort entirely and are counted in neither the rank nor its denominator.

BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, metropolitan area tables, committed to this repository rather than fetched. A location quotient above 1 means the occupation is more concentrated here than in the United States as a whole; wages are means, not medians, and BLS suppresses a wage where its sample is too thin.

Housing #

unavailableretrieved 2026-10-02The place manifest has no Zillow RegionID for CBSA 41860, and Zillow's metro files are keyed by RegionID, so there is no row to show. Guessing one by name would be a different metro.

Zillow Home Value Index and Observed Rent Index, metro files, joined by the RegionID recorded in the place manifest. Both are smoothed indices of the middle third of the market, not sale prices.

Employment, rolled up from member counties #

unavailableretrieved 2026-10-02The offline place manifest does not list this metro's member counties yet, so there is nothing to sum. Running scripts/places-data.mjs on a host with egress fills it in.
  • jobs = sum of QCEW third-month employment across the member counties; the offline manifest does not yet list this metro's counties, so there is nothing to sum.

The place manifest names 0 member counties for this metro, fewer than the 5 a cohort needs before a percentile means anything, so no within-metro position is offered for its counties. The positions above are against the other 392 metropolitan areas, which is a cohort that does not depend on the county pull.

There are no QCEW metro employment totals here, and that is a property of the data rather than an omission: BLS does publish MSA area codes (C####), but lib/economy's QCEW reader handles only county (SSCCC), state (SS000) and national (US000) rows at aggregation levels 74, 54 and 14, and the /api/economy route regex rejects anything else. So this figure is a sum of member counties, labelled an estimate, with every county it could not count named.

lib/indicators has no geographic selection: every registry entry is a United States, gauge, Texas, port, crossing or world series, and no entry is metro-keyed. Reading these as this metro's own readings would be wrong.

Nothing crossed a line in this period.

The full San Francisco, CA brief, with the arithmetic behind every sentence.

Metro briefs are thinner by construction: with no QCEW metro path, their findings come from Zillow's metro home value and rent rows, the county rollup, and nearby crossings and ports.

What these numbers are not

  • There is no metro market report: MarketReport describes a county or a state, and BLS QCEW publishes no metro row at the aggregation levels this app reads. The metro page shows Zillow's own metro rows and a county-rollup employment estimate with its arithmetic instead.
  • The indicator block is the NATIONAL set, filtered only by lens. None of these series is keyed to this place: they are United States, gauge, single-state or port series and they are shown as context, not as this place's own readings.
