How is this ranking made?

One figure is read for each of the 50 states: the median value of owner-occupied homes. A survey estimate with a coefficient of variation over 40% is left out. Equal figures share a rank, listed in order of mean household income. A ranking measures one number; it is not a judgment of a place. The rules are on the methodology page (how a survey figure's reliability is judged), and every ranking is on the rankings page.
