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.

Banks & federal dollars #

Deposit concentration is 10,000 across 1 banks, which the 1995 Department of Justice bank merger screen calls highly concentrated.
HHI = Σ (share %)² over 1 banks with deposits in the county = 100.0² = 10,000
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 | $40,589,500 |
| Department of Veterans Affairs | $9,696,528 |
| Department of Transportation | $9,054,610 |
| General Services Administration | $3,026,474 |
| Department of Housing and Urban Development | $1,027,960 |
| Department of Defense | $426,996 |
| Department of Health and Human Services | $50,000 |
| Federal Communications Commission | $41,997 |
| Department of Agriculture | $15,799 |
| Department of Homeland Security | $9,015 |
| Small Business Administration | $0 |
That is $46,876 per covered job, against 1,364 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $63.9 m / 1,364 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $46,876
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.
