Building on the data that was presented yesterday, here’s a sortable table of some more detailed housing stats for the 25 largest US cities by population. Included below are population, density, median sale price, median price per square foot, median rent, median household income, median list price, and some ratios of sale prices to rents and incomes. Unfortunately sale prices are not available in Texas or Indiana (which is why I went with list price in yesterday’s post).<\/p>\n
