Where are home prices outpacing wages?
Home costs in the United States have outpaced wage growth over the past
decade. In particular, prices in nearly every county nationwide outpaced
wages during the pandemic. This new visual from USAFacts
<https://usafacts.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ff1bc9abb222ec965ded81e5e&id=e33e9e4819&e=627965f84f>provides
the historical numbers to help you compare 28 years of home prices against
wages. Here are some things you’ll find in the viz:

   - Home prices rose 74% from 2010 to 2022, while the average wage rose
   54%.

<https://usafacts.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ff1bc9abb222ec965ded81e5e&id=8f9e13d91e&e=627965f84f>

   - West Virginia had the nation’s lowest median home price in 2022, about
   $160,000. The state also had some of the nation’s lowest average wages:
   $54,000. In Massachusetts, the median home cost $540,000, while the average
   earner made $86,000.

   - Lenders usually require mortgage payments to be less than 28% of gross
   income. In most of the western US and almost every predominantly urban
   county, a single average earner couldn’t afford to buy a median-priced home
   in their county.

   - The top five states where median home prices outpaced wages since 2010
   were mainly out west: Utah (with prices up 260% faster), Oregon (213%
   faster), Colorado (210% faster), Montana (also 210%), and Idaho (206%).

*Mapping the availability of mifepristone *
A US district judge in Texas suspended the Food and Drug Administration’s
nationwide approval of mifepristone, a medication for abortion prescribed
in a two-drug regimen, usually to end a pregnancy or treat miscarriages.
Last Friday, the US Supreme Court temporarily blocked the lower court
ruling. Here is an overview
<https://usafacts.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ff1bc9abb222ec965ded81e5e&id=dfb395c74b&e=627965f84f>
of
where abortion medication is available or banned.
<https://usafacts.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ff1bc9abb222ec965ded81e5e&id=87015b1f6a&e=627965f84f>

   - Mifepristone is widely available in 22 states and can be prescribed by
   a clinician, meaning medical assistants, doctors, counselors, and other
   healthcare providers who treat patients more generally.

   - The medication is restricted in another 15 states. It must be
   prescribed by a doctor or physician, meaning people who work in specific
   treatment areas, including family doctors, pediatricians, and other
   professionals.

   - Of the 46 states and cities that reported abortion data to the Centers
   for Disease Control and Prevention in 2020, 51% of reported abortions were
   early medical abortions — meaning they occurred when a fetus was at a
   gestational age of nine weeks or earlier.

   - The court’s ruling means that the ban could not yet go into effect,
   and the Fifth Circuit Court will hear the appeal. Meanwhile, there is also
   a competing ruling from a judge in Washington State, ordering authorities
   not to make any changes that would restrict mifepristone.

Immigration officials removed 89,000 people
<https://usafacts.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ff1bc9abb222ec965ded81e5e&id=23406c9ca1&e=627965f84f>
from
the US in 2021, the lowest number since 1996. This decline was partly
related to COVID-19 restrictions and fewer people coming to the US in 2020.

About 71% of removals in fiscal year 2021 were for criminal offenses, the
top three being drugs, immigration violations, or assault.
