A tight-supply market with no rental pool to price against. Demand is visible here; the rent math is not.
What would change this read: the median listing price is +2.1% YoY. inventory, −12.0% YoY, is the number to watch.
The median listing price is up 2.1% YoY while the median home got down 4.9% bigger, so value per square foot is up 3.2%.

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.
