How does Industry compare to other US cities?

Household income 39% higher than other cities
Median rent 93% pricier than other cities

"Safer than" reflects total crime rate from FBI UCR; the others use Census ACS estimates.

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks
Each percentile compares Industry against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to California only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
