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.
Home values #
Typical home $477,367 (Aug 2026), +1.5% over one year, +5.2% over five

| Storey County | $477,367 · +1.5% 1-yr |
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.
Rents #
Zillow publishes no rent index for this area (ZORI covers about 1,400 counties)
- US counties: not published this period
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 $2,613 a month on $477,367 at 7.28%, against an average weekly wage worth $7,224 a month: 36.2% of one job’s pay.
- payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $477,367 × 80% = $381,894, r = 7.28%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-01), n = 360 → $2,613/mo principal and interest
- wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $1,667 × 52 / 12 = $7,224) = 36% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
- years of wages = $477,367 / ($1,667 × 52) = 5.5
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.

Banks & federal dollars #
FDIC publishes no Summary of Deposits rows for this county. $50.6 m federal obligations in FY2026 (direct payments $32.0 m, contracts $16.1 m), $2,101 per covered job
| Item | Value | Distance |

| MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS | $31.9 m · top recipient FY2026 |
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 #
USAspending place-of-performance obligations for FY2026, by awarding agency.
| Awarding agency | Obligations |
|---|---|
| Social Security Administration | $30,105,959 |
| Department of Defense | $16,125,532 |
| Department of Transportation | $2,282,003 |
| Department of Veterans Affairs | $1,974,195 |
| Department of Education | $47,934 |
| Federal Communications Commission | $27,817 |
| Railroad Retirement Board | $26,097 |
| Department of Agriculture | $19,685 |
| Small Business Administration | $0 |
| Department of Health and Human Services | $0 |
| Department of Justice | -$535 |
| Department of the Interior | -$1,240 |
That is $2,101 per covered job, against 24,092 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $50.6 m / 24,092 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $2,101
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.
