The Million Dollar Line
Watch the $1M+ boundary push inland from the coasts since 2000 -- what was exclusive becomes mainstream.

The million-dollar line tells the story of American wealth migration. Coastal markets — San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Miami — have always had high-end sales.

For investors and developers, this visualization reveals where the next wave of luxury pricing is headed — the leading edge of the line is tomorrow's high-value market.
