U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates. "±" is the margin of error at 90% confidence: the true value is likely within that range. "Wide" marks an estimate whose margin is more than 15% of the value; compare those with care. Percentages are computed from ACS counts. Home value is what owners estimate, not a sale price; see home values for price trends.
