ACS home values are survey medians for owner-occupied homes, not current sale prices or property valuations. Gross rent is monthly. SOC 47-0000 covers construction and extraction; SOC 49-0000 covers installation, maintenance and repair. Employee wages are not contractor bids. Station normals describe a reference location, not every parcel in a county; distance is from the covered-area reference point.

Market statistics describe their stated geography and survey period. Published-list counts and filing dates describe the selected records separately.
How to compare the lists
Motivated sellers counts unique properties with multiple signals. Foreclosure and lien lists count records; one property can have more than one filing. A property may appear in several categories, so these counts are not added together.
The publication date belongs to the list, not the filing or the listing’s last active day. A category not shown here does not establish that the county has no such records.
