Where the numbers come from

City snapshots blend U.S. Census American Community Survey figures with Bureau of Labor Statistics labor-market releases. Neighborhood pages add local research and regularly refreshed market notes from this site.

Mortgage benchmarks follow the Federal Reserve’s weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey for popular fixed-rate products — the same national series lenders watch when they set starting points for quotes.

Best for buyers

Use Allen as a comparison point against nearby cities, then narrow by monthly payment, commute routes, schools, and inventory quality.

Best for sellers
