We’ve built a new interactive map that visualizes housing data at the ZIP code level.
- Each dot represents a ZIP code.
- Dot size is proportional to population.
- Dot color reflects home prices.
The map has a “Local View” mode—when you zoom in, both the sizes and colors automatically re-scale based only on the ZIP codes in the viewable area. This makes it easy to compare areas within a region without the results being skewed by national extremes.
How to explore:
- Open the full-screen version (highly recommended).
- Zoom in with a double-click, pinch, or the plus/minus controls.
- Hover or click on any bubble to see details for that ZIP code.
Here’s a quick Loom walkthrough showing how it works. The map is viewable below. Prices are sourced from Zillow.
