  1. ZIP-level values are allocated from Census ZCTAs rather than measured. A ZIP straddling several municipalities is an estimate, not an observation. Allocation weights for this ZIP: hud_res_ratio.

Change ranks compare five-year movement, not price or size. Rank 1 is the largest rise—or the smallest where lower is better, such as unemployment.

Figures marked ± come from the Census Bureau’s survey and carry its 90% margin of errorMargin of error. How far a survey figure could be from the true value. A ± figure here is the Census Bureau’s 90% margin: the true value is very likely within that range.: the true figure is very likely within that range of the estimate. Where the margins cannot tell a place from its neighbours, its rank reads as a range. “No sampling error” marks a figure the Census fixes to its population estimates rather than estimating from the survey, such as a county’s population. HUDHUD. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the federal housing agency. It sets the income limits and Fair Market Rents housing programs use, and publishes data on who struggles with housing costs.’s CHASCHAS. Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy: HUD’s special tabulation of ACS microdata, counting households by the share of their income that goes on housing. figures come from the same survey and carry HUD’s margins the same way.

  1. aACSACS. American Community Survey: the Census Bureau’s rolling survey. Figures here are five-year estimates, so “2023” means the survey years 2019–2023, not a count taken that year. 5-year vintages overlap by four years, so consecutive estimates are not independent measurements and short windows understate the real separation.
  2. bCensus survey figures for a ZIP code are measured for its ZCTA, the area the Census builds from census blocks to approximate the ZIP's delivery routes; the two can differ. ZCTA figures begin with the 2016-2020 survey, the first drawn on 2020's ZCTAs, so none shows a five-year change yet.
