How do you find median wage growth and population growth? (deciding on a market)

[Mary Ainsworth]

Hello!

I'm starting to look out of state I'm currently picking my market. I've heard on BP to look for:

- median wage growth

- population growth 

- employment growth

What are trustworthy resources I can use to find these numbers for any given market? I'm not sure where to look. 

Besides these metrics, are there any other general metrics I should consider when deciding my long-distance market?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!!

Hey Mary!

I would check out both of these resources:

1. These Are The Top 20 Up-And-Coming Real Estate Markets This Spring - This article was posted 3 days ago, and might give you some markets to dive into further.
2. Spring 2023 Update: Rental Market Data Author: Dave Meyer - This report will give you a very in depth analysis of Rental Market Data in various markets.

I hope these are a step in the right direction for picking your market!

I'm also very interested to hear what market you end up investing in, please keep me in the loop!
