Typical home value divided by the average annual wage of one covered job.
A percentile here is a min-max scaling of average rank: the smallest published value in the cohort is 0 and the largest is 100, and tied values share the average of the ranks they span. It is not the share of entities below the value, so 0 means smallest, not none below. Entities that did not publish the metric are outside the cohort entirely and are counted in neither the rank nor its denominator.

Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI), smoothed, all homes and multifamily; price-to-rent = typical home / (typical rent × 12).
What the typical home costs to carry #
Principal and interest of $2,661 a month on $480,475 at 7.40%, against an average weekly wage worth $7,224 a month: 36.8% of one job’s pay.
- payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $480,475 × 80% = $384,380, r = 7.40%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-15), n = 360 → $2,661/mo principal and interest
- wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $1,667 × 52 / 12 = $7,224) = 37% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
- years of wages = $480,475 / ($1,667 × 52) = 5.5
The wage is one covered job’s average, not a household’s income, so this is the share of a single paycheque and not a mortgage underwriting ratio.
Estimate. Principal and interest on the typical home with 20% down over 30 years at this week's Freddie Mac average rate; compared with the average weekly wage of all jobs covered by unemployment insurance in the area (BLS QCEW), which is pay per job, not household income.

Banks & federal dollars #
FDIC publishes no Summary of Deposits rows for this county. $50.6 m federal obligations in FY2026 (direct payments $32.0 m, contracts $16.1 m), $2,101 per covered job

FDIC Summary of Deposits: deposits at every insured office as of June 30, annual; HHI is the sum of squared county deposit shares (DOJ 1995 bank merger screen: 1000 / 1800). USAspending: obligations by place of performance for the latest complete federal fiscal year (Oct 1 to Sep 30), what agencies committed, not what they paid out; recipients are legal entities. Per-job divides obligations by BLS QCEW covered employment.
Federal obligations #
USAspending place-of-performance obligations for FY2026, by awarding agency.
| Awarding agency | Obligations |
|---|---|
| Social Security Administration | $30,105,959 |
| Department of Defense | $16,125,532 |
| Department of Transportation | $2,282,003 |
| Department of Veterans Affairs | $1,974,195 |
| Department of Education | $47,934 |
| Federal Communications Commission | $27,817 |
| Railroad Retirement Board | $26,097 |
| Department of Agriculture | $19,685 |
| Small Business Administration | $0 |
| Department of Health and Human Services | $0 |
| Department of Justice | -$535 |
| Department of the Interior | -$1,240 |
That is $2,101 per covered job, against 24,092 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.
per job = FY2026 obligations $50.6 m / 24,092 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $2,101
USAspending obligations are recorded where the work is performed, so a prime award performed here is counted here even when the recipient is headquartered elsewhere. Recipients are legal entities, never people.

Snapshot pulled 2026-10-20: 1 filers, 1 with financial facts.
Public filers whose registered business address with the SEC falls in this county, from a committed snapshot of EDGAR's company_tickers_exchange file. A position is the centroid of the address's ZIP code (Census ZCTA) or, where the snapshot says so, of its city: it is not a building. Legal entities only - no officer, insider or shareholder data is read, and Forms 3, 4 and 5 are excluded everywhere. Sector exposure is the county's BLS QCEW jobs mix bridged to GICS sectors by a convention documented in lib/companies/sectors.ts; a jobs mix is not a portfolio.
