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 housing market in Atlantic County, NJ, shows significant appreciation in both housing costs and income metrics compared to its peers. The single-family home value index and the observed rent index are both ranked 1st among their respective cohorts, reflecting substantial growth of +48.7% and +45.6%, respectively. While the median owner-occupied home value increased by 25.1% and the median gross rent rose by 18.3%, the region's affordability ratios indicate significant strain, with the home value to area median income increasing by +35.4% and ranking 20th of 21. Similarly, the annual rent to household income rose by +24.4%, ranking 16th of 16.
Despite the rising cost metrics, the region saw a notable decrease in the percentage of renters paying over 30% of income on housing, which fell by -9.4% and ranks 3rd of 21. Economically, the median household income grew by +23.7%, and the unemployment rate saw a sharp decline of -40.8%, ranking 4th of 21. However, the low-income limit, 80% AMI, 4-person household also increased by +18.2%, ranking 20th of 21.
When interpreting these figures, it is important to note that the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates overlap by four years, meaning consecutive estimates are not independent measurements. Furthermore, the Zillow observed rent index, while ranking 1st, rests on a thinner base and covers fewer places than the home-value index, meaning its rank should be compared only within its smaller cohort.

Caveats
- ACS 5-year vintages overlap by four years, so consecutive estimates are not independent measurements and short windows understate the real separation.
- Affordability ratios are computed by this platform from two published series, not published by either source. The monthly value or rent series is averaged over the survey year to match the annual income denominator.
- Zillow's rent index begins in 2015 and covers far fewer places than its home-value index, so any rent figure rests on a thinner base — and ranks against a smaller cohort — than a value figure.
- HUD publishes income limits per county, so every AMI-based figure here is a county figure. HUD does not sanction allocating one down to a municipality.
