This Map Shows How Much It Costs to Own a Home in Every US State

Where you live makes a huge difference in terms of how much you have to shell out

There are an estimated 76.7 million homeowners in America, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which recently released its 2013-2017 American Community Survey five-year estimates. Their homes are worth a median $217,600, and those with a mortgage spend a median $1,500 per month on housing costs. 

Where you live makes a huge difference in terms of how much you have to shell out, though. While residents of Alabama own homes with a median value of around $141,000, in the District of Columbia the typical home is worth more than $600,000. 

How does your state stack up? Below, check out a breakdown of the median home value for 2017 in every U.S. state and the District of Columbia, as well as how much homeowners with a mortgage pay per month to cover housing expenses.
