What the typical home costs to carry #

Principal and interest of $1,747 a month on $315,309 at 7.40%, against an average weekly wage worth $4,173 a month: 41.9% of one job’s pay.

• payment = P·r / (1 − (1+r)^−n), P = $315,309 × 80% = $252,247, r = 7.40%/12 (Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED, 2026-10-15), n = 360 → $1,747/mo principal and interest
• wage share = payment / (avg weekly wage $963 × 52 / 12 = $4,173) = 42% of one average job's pay (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all covered jobs)
• years of wages = $315,309 / ($963 × 52) = 6.3
• price-to-rent = $315,309 / ($1,335 × 12) = 19.7

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 #

$1.2 bn in deposits at 9 offices of 5 banks (SOD June 2026); HHI 3,661, highly concentrated. $351.0 m federal obligations in FY2026 (direct payments $298.7 m, grants $40.0 m), $37,970 per covered job

Deposit concentration is 3,661 across 5 banks, which the 1995 Department of Justice bank merger screen calls highly concentrated.

HHI = Σ (share %)² over 5 banks with deposits in the county = 53.1² + 25.1² + 11.6² + … (2 more) = 3,661

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.

That is $37,970 per covered job, against 9,244 jobs in the 2026 Q1 QCEW quarter.

per job = FY2026 obligations $351.0 m / 9,244 covered jobs (BLS QCEW 2026 Q1, all ownerships) = $37,970

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.

National context, not this county #

These are United States, single-gauge, single-state and port series. None of them is keyed to this county.

The indicator registry has no county-keyed series and no geographic selection: every entry is national, a named gauge, a single state or a port. They are here as the backdrop the county's own numbers move against, and they are never this county's readings.
