Arizona-relative analysis
Among the 327 Arizona cities PlainCities tracks with reported median home value data, New Kingman-Butler ranks #249 - the 24th percentile within the state. This is a different, narrower cut than the nationwide percentiles above: it compares New Kingman-Butler only against its own state's cities, not the full US field.
Ranked by raw value (highest first); a higher rank is not automatically "better" for every measure, see each metric's own context above. This is a comparison within Arizona only, not a livability score. See the methodology for the source and calculation.
