California counties
Every county or county equivalent in California. "n/a" means the Census Bureau did not publish a usable estimate (hover for the reason); it is never zero. A "wide margin" tag means a margin of error above 25% of the estimate for rent, home value or income, so the place has no page of its own. Every figure is an estimate from a sample survey and comes with a margin of error (MOE, shown as ±) at the 90 percent confidence level. Small differences between places, or between neighboring ranks, may not be real.
