Missouri is weird
None of that is around St Louis or Kansas City
I wonder what role property taxes play in this. Illinois has some of the highest property taxes in the country
It's average home prices vs average wages. Things like property taxes and cost of living aren't included.
That's what I was mostly interested in, how property taxes affect home values
The areas of Missouri are just low income. I'm from Kansas and I noticed a couple of our yellow counties are college towns.
That is interesting
My mindset while looking at the graph is ridiculously out of control housing prices, but the inverse would also be true of low incomes as well
Certainly makes me feel for those where both situations are true
