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.
113 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.
