“Texas” is a single market but San Fran and San Jose are separate, and no mention of DC metro which sits cleanly in 3rd place if not higher?

surprised it’s not higher ngl
sf is tiny as far as cities go, with very high-paying jobs being much more common than other cities.

That data is converted from PPP
The gap is far higher in real dollars vs purchasing parity converted.
