The interactive chart needs JavaScript. The numbers are on the chart's page.
In the Census Bureau's 5-year survey ending in 2024, the typical owner-occupied home in Hawaii was worth $839,100, the most of any state, followed by District of Columbia ($737,100) and California ($734,700). West Virginia was lowest at $162,600, and the U.S. median was $332,700. Values are what owners estimate their homes would sell for, over five years.
