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.

Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI), smoothed, all homes and multifamily; price-to-rent = typical home / (typical rent × 12).
What the typical home costs to carry #
Principal and interest of $4,751 a month on $867,900 at 7.28%, against an average weekly wage worth $4,459 a month: 106.5% of one job’s pay.
- payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $867,900 × 80% = $694,320, r = 7.28%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-01), n = 360 → $4,751/mo principal and interest
- wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $1,029 × 52 / 12 = $4,459) = 107% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
- years of wages = $867,900 / ($1,029 × 52) = 16.2
- price-to-rent = $867,900 / ($2,622 × 12) = 27.6
The wage is one covered job’s average, not a household’s income, so this is the share of a single paycheque and not a mortgage underwriting ratio.
Estimate. Principal and interest on the typical home with 20% down over 30 years at this week's Freddie Mac average rate; compared with the average weekly wage of all jobs covered by unemployment insurance in the area (BLS QCEW), which is pay per job, not household income.

Deposit concentration is 2,854 across 4 banks, which the 1995 Department of Justice bank merger screen calls highly concentrated.
HHI = Σ (share %)² over 4 banks with deposits in the county = 32.2² + 30.2² + 28.8² + … (1 more) = 2,854
FDIC Summary of Deposits: deposits at every insured office as of June 30, annual; HHI is the sum of squared county deposit shares (DOJ 1995 bank merger screen: 1000 / 1800). USAspending: obligations by place of performance for the latest complete federal fiscal year (Oct 1 to Sep 30), what agencies committed, not what they paid out; recipients are legal entities. Per-job divides obligations by BLS QCEW covered employment.
Federal obligations #
That is $11,475 per covered job, against 4,513 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $51.8 m / 4,513 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $11,475
USAspending obligations are recorded where the work is performed, so a prime award performed here is counted here even when the recipient is headquartered elsewhere. Recipients are legal entities, never people.
