Not a meme or anything, so I’m not quite sure where else to post this. It’s been floating around since early this year, and I thought it was interesting to see and speculate about why certain states are so high/low right now.

If I could find the source of the data, I would’ve posted it to /c/dataisbeautiful, but without it I’d rather share it somewhere more casual.

    What’s the median housing price? The average is usually distorted by the ultra wealthy.

    For Ohio, that’s either out of date or including a lot of outliers. Average range is 250-350K, with new builds going about 500K because fuck you.

    2005-2010’ish you could see houses go for a little over 100k

    Is it me or is the key of the map a bit off? Why are Wyoming and Arizona red when there’s yellow states with higher prices? Why is Hawaii the only one in purple when it isn’t even the most expensive? What the hell happened to New Jersey?
