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.

What the typical home costs to carry #

Principal and interest of $1,620 a month on $296,030 at 7.28%, against an average weekly wage worth $6,244 a month: 25.9% of one job’s pay.

  • payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $296,030 × 80% = $236,824, r = 7.28%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-01), n = 360 → $1,620/mo principal and interest
  • wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $1,441 × 52 / 12 = $6,244) = 26% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
  • years of wages = $296,030 / ($1,441 × 52) = 4.0
  • price-to-rent = $296,030 / ($1,411 × 12) = 17.5

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.

What these numbers are not

  • Water rows are everything within 75 km of this place's internal point (150 km for reservoirs), not everything inside its boundary: lib/water searches discs, and every row prints its own distance.
  • Server report: satellite turbidity is only computed in a browser, so that term is absent here.
  • Stress uses 2 of 4 terms (drought, quality); missing terms are left out, not assumed.
  • Groundwater has no trend term: one latest level cannot say whether an aquifer is being drawn down.
  • USAspending did not answer for recipients, awarding agencies and NAICS.
  • Obligations are what agencies committed in FY2026 by place of performance: not outlays, and not the recipient's own location.
  • FY2026 closed 2 days ago; agencies report with up to a 45-day lag, so totals are still filling in.
  • Positions are ZIP or city centroids of the registered business address, not building footprints.
  • Sector and ETF names are a stated convention (lib/companies/sectors.ts), not classification by MSCI/S&P and not advice.
  • 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 2026-10-02T00:46:50.989Z. 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.
