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 $6,695 a month on $1,223,135 at 7.28%, against an average weekly wage worth $21,242 a month: 31.5% of one job’s pay.
payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $1.2 m × 80% = $978,508, r = 7.28%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-01), n = 360 → $6,695/mo principal and interest
wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $4,902 × 52 / 12 = $21,242) = 32% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
years of wages = $1.2 m / ($4,902 × 52) = 4.8
price-to-rent = $1.2 m / ($4,818 × 12) = 21.2
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.

currentretrieved 2026-10-02The company snapshot is a committed fixture, not a pull.
1 public company files with the SEC from a business address here (JPMorgan Chase & Co). These rows are a committed fixture, not a pull: the snapshot has never been refreshed, so every financial fact is null and the list is not a complete census of filers in this county. The county's jobs mix maps to 10 GICS sectors, led by Communication Services.
Public filers whose registered business address with the SEC falls in this county, from a committed snapshot of EDGAR's company_tickers_exchange file. A position is the centroid of the address's ZIP code (Census ZCTA) or, where the snapshot says so, of its city: it is not a building. Legal entities only - no officer, insider or shareholder data is read, and Forms 3, 4 and 5 are excluded everywhere. Sector exposure is the county's BLS QCEW jobs mix bridged to GICS sectors by a convention documented in lib/companies/sectors.ts; a jobs mix is not a portfolio.
