USInsights is a map-first data platform for exploring America by county. You can compare places across housing, economy, population, transport, weather, politics and quality-of-life signals — all in one interactive map. The goal is simple: make public data easier to understand, compare and use. Whether you're researching where to live, writing about regional trends, exploring affordability, or just curious about how different parts of the US compare, USInsights gives you a clearer starting point. Would love your support, feedback, and brutal honesty 👇

I’ve been adding SEO-friendly ranking pages to USInsights, starting with housing affordability.

This one ranks every US state by price-to-income ratio — median home value divided by median household income. Lower means more affordable.

West Virginia comes out on top at 2.7×, followed by Iowa, Kansas, Indiana, Mississippi, and Ohio.

What I’m trying to build is a bridge between simple searchable pages and the full interactive map. You can land on a clear ranking, understand the metric, then open the map to explore the wider context.

Would love feedback on whether this format works — especially from anyone who uses data pages, maps, or local rankings for research.
