Calculations

Gross rent yield = 12 × typical rent ÷ typical home value. Price-to-rent ratio = typical home value ÷ annual rent. Mortgage estimates assume 20% down and a 30-year fixed loan at the latest weekly Freddie Mac average, principal and interest only. State median rent is the median of city typical rents in that state.
