Measure

Median Gross Rent, ranked highest first across ZIP codes in Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union, NC (76 ranked in total).

How the headline figure is computed

The highest-ranked unit's value divided by the median value across all 76 ranked units.

Universe

Places below a 5,000-resident floor are excluded so a median computed on a handful of households cannot top the ranking.
