[01] What This Profile Means
Roughly a third of U.S. counties don't fit cleanly into any single market profile. Two situations land a county here: (1) its housing trajectory, labor patterns, and demographic signals pull in different directions across resampling tests, or (2) its descriptive character matches a profile but its BoomTown Score diverges sharply from peers in that profile — meaning the forecasting model sees something the character clustering doesn't. Either way, the county gets a custom data-driven narrative instead of a profile label.
Bootstrap stability below 50% on the descriptive features, OR BoomTown Score deviates more than 30 points from the assigned profile's mean.

[04] Other Market Profiles
Market profiles describe each county's housing-market character, derived empirically from 24 housing, labor, and demographic features across 987 U.S. counties using hierarchical clustering. Counties whose BoomTown Score diverges sharply from a profile's typical range are moved to Idiosyncratic Markets and get a custom narrative instead. Read the methodology →
