This is the second map that I created with my urban geographer brother Matthew Mulbrandon on the Housing Price Index (HPI). A description of these maps as well as the first set can be found on Design & Geography. This new set is inflation adjusted and covers the entire span of the Federal Housing data set 1991-2010.

Unlike prices in the stock market (which are the same no matter where you you live) your experience of the housing bubble was determined by your location in the years 2000-2010. These maps (which I created with Matthew Mulbrandon) give a quick and easy glance at the change in housing prices focusing on the bubble in the United States. They show the Housing Price Index (not inflation adjusted) by state. As you have probably seen in the news, the housing bubble was largest in the West and the South East, in states such as California, Arizona, and Nevada and Florida. Those states had the largest increase from 2000-2006 (height of the bubble) and the largest decreases from 2006-2010. However, from 2000 to 2010 one can see all states (except Michigan) had more moderate price increases. You can learn more about the housing market at DesignandGeography.com

Screenshot from an interactive mapping tool from OECD Regional Statistics. While you can look at any region I choose North America. The color indicates the GDP per capita: blue is low income while red is high income. The graph on the right is comparing % of population with high school education vs unemployment. (The red circle, indicating very high income, belongs to Washington DC)
