What is the typical home worth in your county?
The interactive chart needs JavaScript. The numbers are on the chart's page.
Search any of the 3,139 U.S. counties. In the Census Bureau's 5-year survey ending in 2024, the typical owner-occupied home was worth the most in Teton County, Wyoming, $1,633,900, and the least in Stonewall County, Texas, $48,600. Values are what owners estimate their homes would sell for, over five years, and small counties' estimates have wide margins of error.
