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 Home Value Index (ZHVI), typical value of homes in the 35th to 65th percentile, smoothed and seasonally adjusted; a model estimate of value, not a sale price. Data through Zillow Research.
Principal and interest of $1,281 a month on $233,943 at 7.28%, against an average weekly wage worth $4,533 a month: 28.3% of one job’s pay.
payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $233,943 × 80% = $187,154, r = 7.28%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-01), n = 360 → $1,281/mo principal and interest
wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $1,046 × 52 / 12 = $4,533) = 28% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
years of wages = $233,943 / ($1,046 × 52) = 4.3
price-to-rent = $233,943 / ($1,035 × 12) = 18.8
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.
