What's up with California? Why such a decrease across most counties?

Because of a body of water? Or did you mean their subway… because that goes to Oakland. Read up on gentrification if you want to find out what will happen to Marin if it gets subway access (hint: you will find a new county to call out as proof of racism). San Francisco has many many problems but systemic racism is really far down the list… unlike places in NC as much as you don’t want to hear it

U of Chicago competes with the best colleges in the nation, but who wants to move to Chicago if Boston is an option?

Just to make sure I’m reading this right, there are still house price increases in a substantial number of counties despite a massive increase in loan interest rates?

If you are a Texas resident planning to attend a public school, there aren't many good options. That's why UT and A&M are high on the list.

North Carolina is lovely, coming from a Wisconsinite who also things Wisconsin is lovely

Very cool! Maybe a gray basemap would be better for visualization?

I think the colors should be in reverse.

You're one of the few. New Yorkers, Californians, everyone is coming here in herds. The problem is they get here and turn it into the shithole they were fleeing. It sucks.

Why would that be bad out of curiosity?

It's an increase in productivity of otherwise unproductive locations due to remote work. Rent is set based on the difference between productivity of a location and productivity of the available free alternative (e.g. wilderness). Since home prices necessarily include land speculation, i.e. the rent that could be collected by owning the property, home prices rise too.

Because you're plotting what's called a "powercurve". It's a standard figure in the wind industry, because wind is nearly always measured in m/s or knots.

I've worked with wind turbines for 11 years and made hundreds of powercurves. Never seen anyone use km/h before.

This map really did not need any base mapping. It makes it look very busy.

Why not, it's SI units. Everyone (in europe) knows km/h and has a pretty good picture of it, e.g. from driving. So the selected units meets the intended audience.

I hate the "knots" or other measures. They should perhaps switch from BS units to SI units.

So the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 when 227 898 officially died doesn't appear?

10% in my area? You should show 2021 to 2022. Houses went from $65k to $275k+ really quick..... My property taxes tripled....

I would have thought it would be its own category but put them down to earthquakes as that is what causes them. And tsunami means flood does it? OP says it's a separate category but doesn't list any.

lol, I was thinking the same thing, wasn't expecting an eastern shore reference at the top of this post.

looks like the entire Midwest is gentrifying

wow the irony in this comment

So the red counties are the ones with the house is most likely to drop further in value?
