Irvine, 14.9.....ugh, home ownership in my hometown is not possible for me and my generation.

I'm not a gun guy, but I wonder how many different models of firearm Wick has used in the movies? I have also wondered how much the visit to the Sommelier would have cost, if he had paid in USD or EUR or whatever instead of those in-story gold coins.

There are an awful lot of most boring places in america. Anywhere from lubbock texas on up to rural illinois is basically the same in my mind. Flat, boring. Maybe corn, maybe wheat, maybe just grass, but boring.

Very nice analysis!

I would be very interested to see how the number of jobs in each area looks in relation to these data (or even a silly proxy like total population). Many people say “Well don’t live in the middle of Seattle, LA, SF, or NYC then!”, but I feel like this suggestion is a bit myopic. If even 20% of those major urban workers decided to up and move to suburban/rural Illinois, my hunch is they would either quickly overwhelm the entire job market in those areas, or all the remote tech workers would quickly drive up housing prices because their Silicon Valley salary lets them offer double current rent prices and still save money.

My parents have lived there since 2010. Vero has plenty of room to grow, unlike a lot of South Florida.

However, my bet is on this data being skewed not by the home costs, but by the income number. There is a small but sizable contingent of HNW individuals who call Vero home. The area is known as the Treasure Coast for a reason. The barrier island has some super exclusive communities with multi-million dollar real estate; the mainland has places where you can buy new houses for $400K+ even now.

Great graphic. No doubt San Diego housing is not affordable to many in the city. But there are many other things that go into it. Wealth and assets are other big parts.

A lot of people in the city already own said homes, therefore, already have built up equity. They can use gains selling their homes to buy other homes.

true.. even parts of California have gotten epic snow. SoCal is a great place to live and work and I am glad I bought my house 20 years ago because I could not afford to buy it today with what it is worth.

When I started my career 25 years ago, I was legitimately told 'you won't necessarily make as much here, as in other places, because of the 'sunshine tax'' The fact that it is relatively beautiful year-round, you get less money!
