Understanding median home prices

Home prices are one of the clearest signals of how a local economy and housing market are actually doing, but they're also easy to get wrong when you only see a single national headline number. The truth is that home values vary enormously from one county to the next, and even between neighboring cities in the same metro area. HomePriceMap exists to make that variation visible: instead of a single national average, you get a color-coded, searchable map of median home values for every U.S. county and thousands of individual cities and towns, so you can compare the place you live, the place you're moving to, or the place you're just curious about.

What "median home value" actually means

The figures on this site come from Zillow Research's Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI), which tracks the typical value of homes that fall in the 35th to 65th percentile range for a given region β€” in plain terms, the broad middle of the market, not the cheapest fixer-uppers or the most expensive luxury listings. Zillow smooths and seasonally adjusts the raw data, which is why the numbers here tend to be more stable month-to-month than a simple average of recent sale prices would be.

How often is this updated

An automated job checks for new data every day. Zillow itself typically republishes ZHVI figures once a month, usually around the 16th, so most days this just confirms the numbers haven't changed β€” but whenever a new month's data is released, it shows up here automatically, usually within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as a home's sale price or listing price?

No. ZHVI is an estimate of typical home value across a broad swath of the market in a given area, not the sale price of any specific property. It's designed for comparing regions and tracking trends over time, not for pricing an individual home.

Why does a nearby county or city show a very different price?

Home values can shift sharply over short distances due to school district boundaries, commute times, local zoning and housing supply, and historical development patterns. Comparing neighboring counties or cities side by side on the map is often more informative than looking at either one in isolation.

Where does the crime data shown on the map come from?

City-level crime rates come directly from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, specifically the "Offenses Known to Law Enforcement by City" table from their most recent Crime in the United States release. County-level figures are a population-weighted average of that county's own reporting cities, since the FBI's own county-level table only counts crimes handled by the sheriff's office and excludes any city within that county that has its own police department β€” using it directly would understate crime in counties containing larger cities.
