How does Mansfield compare to other US cities?

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

Household income 86% higher than other cities
Home value 75% pricier than other cities
Median rent 69% 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 Mansfield against every qualifying US city; each in-state rank narrows that to Texas only. Full formula and direction notes: methodology.
