The numbers that matter most

What an investor checks first when sizing up a new metro — affordability ratio, rent vs income, cap rate proxy, and where the market is moving. Each metric shown vs. state and national medians for instant context.

 

Price to income

The single most-cited 'is this market still cheap' check. Below 3× and you're in an affordability tailwind.
