Where it comes from
FHFA House Price Index · FHFA HPI all-transactions annual (developmental county/state), annual change
The change in a repeat-sales price index from the year before. FHFA fits each area's index from its own sales, so it is not an average of smaller areas.
Combining areas: it cannot be combined, so it is shown only where its publisher works it out.
What it goes with
The strongest links that have a page of their own. Unadjusted is the link before adjusting for anything, from −1 (opposite) to +1 (in step). Adjusted compares places with the same population density, income and education levels, so those differences can’t explain the link. This list leaves out the 1 pairs built from the same numbers or the same model as this measure, since they are bound to match.
| Measure | Unadjusted | Adjusted |
|---|---|---|
| House price change and Economic connectedness in high schoolPoints one way across counties (-0.07) and the other across people (+0.10), when bigger places count for more: the average county and the average resident disagree. Economic connectedness in high school by US county | -0.13 | -0.07 |
Population makeup
How this measure varies with the racial and ethnic makeup of counties. Every group is shown, whatever its rank. These are links across counties: they describe places, not people. They say nothing about any person’s risk or behaviour based on their race. Counties with a larger share of one group also differ in much else, such as income, segregation, region and history. The adjusted figure only accounts for density, income and education.
| Share of residents | Unadjusted | Adjusted |
|---|---|---|
| House price change and Share White, not HispanicCould easily be chance once only places with similar density, income and education are compared. Share White, not Hispanic by US county | +0.07 | +0.09 |
| House price change and Share Black, not HispanicCould easily be chance once only places with similar density, income and education are compared. Share Black, not Hispanic by US county | +0.06 | +0.01 |
| House price change and Share Hispanic or Latino, any raceWhere House price change is higher, Share Hispanic or Latino, any race tends to be lower: a weak link that holds when only places with similar density, income and education are compared. Share Hispanic or Latino, any race by US county | -0.14 | -0.12 |
| House price change and Share Asian, not HispanicCould easily be chance once only places with similar density, income and education are compared. Share Asian, not Hispanic by US county | -0.13 | -0.08 |
| House price change and Share American Indian or Alaska Native, not HispanicCould easily be chance once only places with similar density, income and education are compared. Share American Indian or Alaska Native, not Hispanic by US county | +0.03 | +0.01 |
