Read housing data without overreading it
Understand recorded median home prices, one-bedroom rents and transparent screening multiples. These city-level references are starting points—not personal buy-versus-rent advice or investment recommendations.

Unweighted average recorded home price across included rows.

Average computed screening multiple—not a national estimate.
The transparent formula
Median home price / (monthly 1BR rent x 12)
The result says how many years of the recorded annual one-bedroom rent equal the recorded median home price. The two fields do not describe one matched property.
Lower computed-multiple rows
Home-price reference rows
These are lower and higher recorded median home-price rows—not complete affordability rankings. Income, financing and household circumstances are separate.
Lower recorded home prices
Gross annual 1BR-rent reference
Annualized recorded 1BR rent divided by recorded median home price. This is not cap rate, net yield or ROI because it excludes property matching, vacancy, expenses, financing and transaction costs.
What the data cannot decide
The snapshot does not include a household's down payment, mortgage terms, taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, property condition, vacancy, transaction costs or planned tenure. Fields may reflect different source years. Use calculators for scenarios—not recommendations.
