How to read these numbers
Gross rent is what renters actually pay, including utilities, across every rental in the city, not just the ones on the market. Home value is what owners say their home would sell for. Both are survey medians for 2024, so they trail today's market. The price-to-rent ratio is a quick way to compare cities; a higher ratio means buying is expensive relative to renting.
