How does Chrisney compare to other US cities?

Here's how Chrisney stacks up against the full field of US cities (population 1,000+), computed live from Census and FBI data.

Household income 39% higher than other cities
Home value 8% pricier than other cities
Median rent 11% pricier than other cities

How we calculate these percentiles & ranks

Each percentile compares Chrisney against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Indiana only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
