Methodology

Ranked by median home value (owner-occupied units) from the US Census ACS 5-year estimates — the owner's own estimate of what the property would sell for.

How to read this ranking

Low home values can signal affordability or weaker local demand. Read alongside income and job-market data before drawing conclusions.
