Small-county caveat: thin transaction samples make small counties' measured swings larger, which is why rural counties often top short-window rankings. The figures are measured, never estimated. A 5-year sprint in a small county is a noisier signal than the same pace in a large one.

Source & method: County figures: FHFA annual county index (experimental), counties and county equivalents with sufficient transaction history. “5-yr /yr” is compound annual growth over the five years ending 2025; figures are nominal. Connecticut reports its planning regions, and Louisiana its parishes, as county equivalents. Data: FHFA House Price Index, updated 2026-10-17.
County averages still hide most of the story; homes in the same ZIP code appreciate at different rates, and ZIPs sit well below counties. Educational data, not investment advice.
