Current values

Each metric’s most recent reading, ranked against peers by value rather than by change. The MOD-IV assessment aggregates appear only here: they are a single published snapshot, and a change needs two observations.

Interpretation

The underlying figures have changed since this was written. Treat it as out of date until it is regenerated.

Camden County shows significant appreciation in housing values, highlighted by the single-family home value index, which has increased by +47.1% over the 2021-06-30 to 2026-06-30 window, ranking it second out of 21 regions. Median owner-occupied home value has also risen substantially, increasing by +32.6% since 2019-12-31, placing the county in the top quartile for this metric. While the total population grew by +3.4% over the 2019-12-31 to 2023-12-31 period, the net migration count saw a dramatic increase of +122.9% between 2018-12-31 and 2022-12-31, suggesting a strong influx of residents.

The cost of living metrics indicate rising pressure on residents. Median gross rent increased by +24.7% over the 2019-12-31 to 2023-12-31 window, and the observed rent index, all homes, rose by +31.1% through 2026-06-30. Despite these increases, median household income grew by +22.6% during the same period. The home value to household income ratio increased by +29.3% (2.70 to 3.50) over the 2019-12-31 to 2023-12-31 window, and the home value to area median income ratio saw a +33.5% increase (2.16 to 2.88) over the 2020-12-31 to 2024-12-31 window.

Overall economic indicators show improvement, with the unemployment rate decreasing by -30.6% between 2020-12-31 and 2025-12-31. However, the affordability ratio of annual rent to household income increased by 13.6% (0.22 to 0.25) over the 2019-12-31 to 2023-12-31 window. It is important to note that the affordability ratios are computed by the platform from two published series, not published by either source, and the Zillow rent index rests on a thinner base and ranks against a smaller cohort than the home value index. Furthermore, the ACS 5-year vintages overlap by four years, meaning consecutive estimates are not independent measurements.
