Redfin reports that U.S. homes in highly rated school zones cost on average $580,000, which is $150,000 (35%) more than typical homes priced at $430,000. The premium varies widely by metro area, with places like Philadelphia and Fort Worth showing premiums near or above 80%, while metros like Little Rock and Anaheim have minimal or even negative premiums due to the abundance or location of top schools. Buyers in high-rated zones often need to spend over half their income on housing, making affordability a challenge, especially in expensive California metros where costs can consume nearly all household income. This data highlights the trade-offs buyers face between school quality and housing affordability across the U.S.
