Showing 10 of 269 tenures.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); the state is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. $, Zillow ZHVI · Zillow Research (ZHVI, city) · city data · as of Sep 2026.
