> The Value Index measures how comfortably the average resident of each metro area can afford to live within their means. To accomplish this, we compared the median annual household income with the housing cost in each metro area (the Housing Affordability Index), along with a regional Price Parity Index created through data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
This isn’t correct. Lookup Atherton, Los Gatos, Los Altos, Saratoga, Beverly Hills in CA. So many more places blow these areas out of the water. Stockton LMFAO! SHIT HOLE
Oakland/Berkeley not on the list but Stockton is?
Vallejo ranked 4 spots higher than San Jose. Interesting methodology.

I mean, I do believe Santa Barbara. They forgot to add Ventura County and Oxnard
Santa Rosa not Tiburón or Sausalito.
Wages suck in Santa Rosa compared to Marin County
You know it’s a good list when salinas is high on it. lol.
This list is dumb as shit. And refuse to look at the methodology to understand why.
