Source: Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2020-2024, read October 30, 2026. Survey estimates carry margins of error, which we did not print; small cities carry larger ones. Rows are cities, towns and census-designated places of 20,000 or more people within their own limits; they are not metro areas. Median value is what owners say their home would sell for, not a sale price or an appraisal. Home value to income divides the median home value by the median household income (derived).
