It represents the wealth of the area relative to the national level.

<li><strong>Diversity Index</strong> - The Diversity Index is a scale of 0 to 100 that represents the likelihood that two persons, chosen at random from the same area, belong to different race or ethnic groups. If an area's entire population belongs to one race AND one ethnic group, then the area has zero diversity. An area's diversity index increases to 100 when the population is evenly divided into two or more race/ethnic groups.</li> <li><strong>Housing Affordability Index</strong> - The Housing Affordability Index base is 100 and represents a balance point where a resident with a median household income can normally qualify to purchase a median price home. Values above 100 indicate increased affordability, while values below 100 indicate decreased affordability.</li> <li><strong>Wealth Index</strong> - The Wealth Index is based on a number of indicators of affluence including average household income and average net worth, but it also includes the value of material possessions and resources. It represents the wealth of the area relative to the national level. Values above or below 100 represent above-average wealth or below-average wealth compared to the national level.</li><p></p> </ul></div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="bluefooter"> <div class="bodycontainer" style="background:none !important;"> <div id="footerLeft"> <p class="footer"> <a href="//www.HomeTownLocator.com/">Home</a> | <a href="/research_tools.cfm">Research Tools</a> | <a href="/aboutus.cfm">About HTL</a> | <a href="/termsandconditions.cfm">Legal</a> | <a href="/privacypolicy.cfm">Privacy</a> | <a href="/feedback.cfm">Contact</a> | <a href="https://news-views.hometownlocator.com">HTL News</a> | <a href="/references.cfm">References</a> </p> <p class="spacer"></p> </div> <div id="footerRight"> <p class="footer"> Copyright 漏 2025 HTL, Inc.
