Net monthly income minus required obligations equals the monthly margin. Where rankings appear, they are produced by the same formula for all 435 districts, never by editorial selection. Ranks compare each income group across all 435 districts using the average of the one-person renter and blended-owner margins after each margin is rounded to whole dollars; rank 1 is the highest average. Two adults, Senior couple 65+, and Two Social Security inherit the corresponding one-person group’s rank. The basket is a market-price standard: current asking rent and unsubsidized benchmark premiums. It can run above what a settled household pays, and the methodology states this. The market-rent line is the one non-federal input, the Zillow Observed Rent Index, labeled wherever it appears. Each build pins the newest release available at build time, one month behind the report month. Values may include presentation rounding. See the methodology for sources, definitions, and computation rules.
