A ton of demographic data was released by the Census Bureau covering housing, income and social characteristics for the year 2014.

I picked one stat to share here: CSAs and uncombined MSAs with 3 Million+ population by the number of owner occupied housing units valued at $1M+

Owner Occupied Housing Units Valued at $1,000,000+, 2014
San Francisco 313,323
New York 304,331
Los Angeles 271,901
Washington 89,697
Boston 69,226
Chicago 46,328
San Diego 46,033
Miami 44,238
Seattle 37,392
Philadelphia 25,043
Houston 21,357
Dallas 20,684
Denver 18,637
Phoenix 17,124
Atlanta 16,904
Minneapolis 11,588

Is this the first time that the census has shown the San Francisco Bay Area take a lead over New York or has this been the case for some time now?

Total Combined: 288,585

San Francisco Bay Area: 313,323

Needless to say, those places/PCSAs combined are several times (several) more populated than the San Francisco Bay Area (which only has 8.6 million people).

With double-digit real-estate price increases, the San Francisco Bay Area is showing no signs of slowing down either.

is an expensive thing

for the bay (as think is CSA) it looks like a little over 10% of houses are greater than 1 million, pretty crazy

seeing the Bay, LA and SD shows how much expensive real estate exists there

It's also shocking how little you get for $1 million in those areas.

Land constraints and scarcity of build-able land are significant price determinators. Honolulu, for its size, would also apply.
