- Update Cadence: Data snapshots are refreshed periodically. The last update date is noted above each indicator.
- Charts: Built with Chart.js. All charts are responsive and include hover tooltips.
- Limitations: Some series may have publication lags of 1-3 months. Metro-level unemployment data is not seasonally adjusted. Housing data reflects the FHFA all-transactions index, which may differ from median sale prices.
