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 #

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.

- US counties: not published this period
- Virginia 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 $930 a month on $169,962 at 7.28%, against an average weekly wage worth $5,547 a month: 16.8% of one job’s pay.
- payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $169,962 × 80% = $135,970, r = 7.28%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-01), n = 360 → $930/mo principal and interest
- wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $1,280 × 52 / 12 = $5,547) = 17% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
- years of wages = $169,962 / ($1,280 × 52) = 2.6
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.

HHI = Σ (share %)² over 2 banks with deposits in the county = 87.0² + 13.0² = 7,743
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.

| Department of Defense | $7,245,874 |

| Department of Transportation | $1,615,368 |
| Federal Communications Commission | $600,421 |
| Railroad Retirement Board | $57,826 |
| Small Business Administration | $0 |
That is $21,687 per covered job, against 3,361 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $72.9 m / 3,361 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $21,687
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.
