Methodology & sources

All figures derive from the 2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates pulled directly from the Census Data API at the place geography level. State and national comparisons are population-weighted aggregates of county-level estimates (an approximation; ACS publishes its own state and national medians which can differ slightly).

HUD Area Median Income figures are inherited from the parent county (HUD publishes Income Limits at county/MSA level). BLS industry (QCEW) and occupation wage (OEWS) sections from the county profiles are not shown on place pages because those datasets are not published at sub-county geography — see the parent county profile for that context.

The affordability calculator uses a 30% housing-budget rule with a 30-year mortgage. Defaults are 7% interest, 5% down, $2,500/year taxes and insurance, and 0.5% PMI — adjustable above.
