What this measures
House prices compared with the same place in 2000, which is set to 100. A value of 250 means prices are 2.5 times what they were in 2000. It is not a price in dollars, so it shows growth, not which place costs more. Source: FHFA House Price Index.
For most measures, a national ranking mostly sorts places by income and by how urban they are. Each county’s own page compares it with the 50 counties most like it instead, which is often the fairer view.
