Figures for a city or a state are averages across its scored ZIP codes, weighted by population, so each ZIP counts in proportion to its residents. Where only some ZIPs report a figure, the sentence names how many.

In September 2026, the average HavenScore balance in Texas was −35, in our Leaning buyer band, weighted by population across its 1,513 scored ZIPs.

Each figure names its own month: Zillow's home values and Realtor.com's listings data publish on their own schedules, so the two can sit a month apart. A figure describes that month, not the day this page was updated.
