How this ranking is built
A place is included when its own page for this figure is published as reliable: a coefficient of variation of 30% or less and enough surveyed homes.
57 places qualify; the rest are on their own pages with their margins, but not ranked here.
The ranking orders the estimates alone: where two places’ margins of error overlap, their ranks may not truly differ, and places at the same published figure share a rank.
A median published as a bound (“$3,500 or more”) is placed at the bound; its true place may be higher.

Figures are published by the US Census Bureau, HUD, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the FBI; Seayora reproduces them and does not adjust them, except where a sentence says it compares dollar figures after inflation. They describe the whole place, not any one building or street, and are not an appraisal, a rent determination, a tax bill, a safety rating or legal advice.
