Typical home value divided by the average annual wage of one covered job.

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.

FIPS 08035, CO: 13 findings, 3 at a watch level and 10 noted

  1. watchFIPS 08035, CO's price-to-rent ratio of 26.0 ranks 65th of 1,399 US counties, a watch level here: price-to-rent in the top tenth of US counties (position among the counties that published both ZHVI and ZORI this month; not an official level). The previous published period is not in this table, so this is a standing level rather than a change.

    Period 2026-08.
    Show the arithmetic
    • test: priceToRent percentile = 95.42203147353362 >= 90
    • typical home value / (typical rent × 12); Zillow ZHVI over ZORI, same month

    position among the counties that published both ZHVI and ZORI this month; not an official level

  2. watchFIPS 08035, CO's typical home value is -1.6% against a year earlier, a watch level here: typical home value below a year ago (arithmetic on Zillow ZHVI, county and metro files; not an official level). The previous published period is not in this table, so this is a standing level rather than a change.

  3. watchFIPS 08035, CO's price-to-rent ratio is 26.0, a watch level here: typical home value worth 25 or more years of typical rent (typical home value / (typical rent × 12), Zillow ZHVI over ZORI, same month; convention chosen for this dashboard, not an official level). The previous published period is not in this table, so this is a standing level rather than a change.

  4. noteFIPS 08035, CO's average weekly wage was 4.6% higher than the same quarter a year earlier in 2026 Q1, on BLS QCEW's published over-the-year change.

    Show the arithmetic
    • +4.6 % = BLS QCEW over-the-year percent change for 2026 Q1, as published

What these numbers are not

  • County 08035 is not in the offline place manifest yet (21 of about 3,235 counties are), so its name and centroid have to come from upstream at request time.
  • FRED did not answer for the 30-year mortgage rate (MORTGAGE30US), so the monthly payment estimate is omitted rather than computed from a stale rate.
  • Mortgage rate not loaded (FRED), so the payment estimate is missing.
  • 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.

Page assembled 2026-10-02T01:37:24.936Z. Place identity tables have never been pulled: names, centroids and memberships come from the offline seed, which is complete for states and metropolitan areas and partial for counties.
