That site is about the ranking of household income, not home values.

PG doesn’t have a single zip code in the top 50 of this list for median home sales.

Where are you getting that PG is expensive? Have you ever been there? It’s not a nice place. Their school system is horrible and their politicians are constantly getting booted for corruption.

Yes, I just moved from Hyattsville. Far more expensive than Columbia…one of the reasons we moved here.

PG County I’m sure has far more poverty than Howard County, which would skew any sort of county wide average. But home values in PG County, especially those closest to DC, have skyrocketed as those areas are gentrifying quickly. This would include Hyattsville, Mt Rainer, College Park, Riverdale, among others.

And your comment about the bad public schools is irrelevant, as most of the affluent families in PG County send their kids to either private or charter schools.

But go on…tell me more about PG County.
