Price ÷ household income

What this number means, its source and the limits of using it.

Guide updated · Source dates are shown in the app

Say you divide the area home value by typical annual household income. This gives a broad affordability comparison, not what a lender will approve for one household.

Reading the number

Group: Price. Units: Multiple. Read the selected geography and compare the same measure at the same level.

Source and date

Census ACS 5-year demand & supply. Expected interval: about 365 days. This is a schedule, not proof that a refresh succeeded.

A guide update is not a data refresh. The source period and collection date, when available, are on the app’s data details. A missing date is unknown, never today. Check freshness.

Access and limits

Buyer and above by default. The app’s current lock is authoritative if settings change. Derived measures also need their input measures open. A missing number is not zero. What each plan shows.
