A cash-flow-lean market. Rents carry the return here rather than price growth.
What would change this read: price growth (median +22.4% YoY) outrunning rents would pull rent-to-price back under 0.8%/mo and weaken the cash-flow case. inventory, −50.0% YoY, is the number to watch.
The median listing price is up 22.4% YoY while the median home got up 69.2% bigger, so value per square foot is down 2.9%.
Min/max come from the active-listing pool; the median comes from Realtor's separate listing set — the two are not subsets of each other, so the median's position relative to the tiles above should not be read literally.
At the median, a $52K purchase rents for $875/mo: 1.68% of price per month against the 1% rule's 1.00%.

Higher or lower is not itself good or bad — it describes the neighborhood, not the investment.
ZIP-level figures come from ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which approximate but do not exactly match USPS ZIP codes. A missing value is suppressed or unavailable at this sample size, not zero. Estimates for 2019–2020 use the 2010 ZCTA boundaries and 2021–2024 the 2020 ones, so a step between those two years may be a boundary change rather than real movement.
