This thematic map presents the median value of houses in the United States in 2009. The 2009 Median Home Value is an estimate of home value based on total owner occupied units.
The median is computed by dividing the distribution of home value within the geographic area into two equal parts. In 2009, median home value decreased again for the U.S., from over $192,000 in 2007, and most markets, also due to the collapse of the housing market. These data are ESRI's 2009 estimates.
The geography depicts states at greater than 25m scale, counties at 1m to 25m scale, Census Tracts at 250k to 1m scale, and Census Block Groups at less than 250k scale.
The map is designed to be displayed with semi-transparency of about 50% for overlay on other basemaps, which is reflected in the legend for the map.
