Zillow Home Value Index: a smoothed estimate of the typical home’s value across all homes here, not just those that sold.
Zillow Observed Rent Index: the asking rent of the typical rental listed here today, weighted to the full rental stock.
For context: renters here currently pay a median of $803/mo across all leases (ACS 2020-2024, utilities included). Asking rent tracks today’s market; the census tracks everyone’s existing lease.
Home values: Zillow bedroom-count index with 1-year change. Rent: ACS 2020-2024 median gross rent by bedrooms (census benchmark of rents paid, utilities included).
