Methodology

Source:
U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2024
Measure
Homes Held for Seasonal Use, ranked highest first across Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Johnston, Orange, Person, Wake County (and neighbours), NC (16 ranked in total).
How the headline figure is computed
The top three units' combined count divided by the combined count of all 16 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.
