# ZIP 07980, NJ — housing report

1 metrics over the `5y` change window, ranked against 598 zip regions in NJ.

Between them the metrics reach from 2021-09-30 to 2026-09-30; each one covers its own window, given in the table.

## Metrics

| Metric | Start | Latest | Change | Annualised | Rank | Window |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| Home value index, houses and condos | $569,765 | $755,250 | +32.6% | 5.8%/yr | 365th of 546 | 2021-09-30 → 2026-09-30 |

Rank 1 is the better end of the cohort as the metric defines better, not always the largest rise.

## Current values

Every metric's most recent reading, ranked against peers by value rather than by change. Metrics published as a single snapshot — the MOD-IV assessment aggregates and HUD's CHAS tables — appear only here, because a change needs two observations.

## Margins of error

± is a survey figure's 90% margin of error, as the publisher reports it or as its inputs imply: a change's margin is in the change's own terms, and a share's in percentage points. A rank given as a range is where those margins let this region fall — the survey cannot place it more precisely. "no margin available" means the publisher reports none for that figure, which is still an estimate; "no sampling error" means the figure is fixed to another estimate rather than drawn from the sample. A survey figure's annualised change is not shown, because no margin is computed for it.

## Caveats

- ACS 5-year vintages overlap by four years, so consecutive estimates are not independent measurements and short windows understate the real separation.
- Affordability ratios are computed by this platform from two published series, not published by either source. The monthly value or rent series is averaged over the survey year to match the annual income denominator.
- Census survey figures for a ZIP code are measured for its ZCTA, the area the Census builds from census blocks to approximate the ZIP's delivery routes; the two can differ. ZCTA figures begin with the 2016-2020 survey, the first drawn on 2020's ZCTAs, so none shows a five-year change yet.
- ZIP-level values are allocated from Census ZCTAs rather than measured. A ZIP straddling several municipalities is an estimate, not an observation. Allocation weights for this ZIP: hud_res_ratio.
- Some metrics rank this region against fewer peers than the level contains, because not every region carries every metric. Compare ranks only within the cohort size each one reports.
