Secretly happy that everyone hates Ohio. Cost of living is much lower that way. Keep hating, y’all.

    Less than 5% of the land in the country is occupied by housing and no reasonable land reform has happened to make entry level home construction viable. Every single metric here is a total failure of government. The low points are just the ones with no meaningful economic growth in the same timeframe.

      Yes!

      You are correct, looking for source, seems other maps also share the numbers and colors to a degree, I have not found the source though…


      Edit1:

      Here is another I found, same problem:

    Yeah but what no one tells you about that lower cost of living is that now you’re trapped because everywhere else is so much more expensive.

    And honestly this whole state could disappear and the world would be a better place

      Only explanation is that someone convinced many in those states that housing construction is woke.

    Ohio is the bastard child of New England and is not part of the Midwest!

    Is this not mostly a population density map with a few explainable caveats for places like Alaska?

      I don’t think so. Based off of density Montana also wouldn’t have any business being in the ball park of New York though I’m sure that is a factor in nationwide home prices
