Go to the library and look for their copies of the ACCRA Cost of Living Index.

Over a period of decades is almost totally useless for that area.
50 years ago it was all sheephearders and nothing else. Today is is a hamlet for the uberrich who wants to escape the jungle that SF is, without getting too far away. Kind of like Summerland near Santa Barbara.
I'm not trying to diss you and toss you under the bus, but I don't understand why you want the (imo useless) dataset or what you are tying to do with it.

I was going to do rents, home prices, and income comparisons so I can make a target for what is "normal" for those areas. Maybe I should just look at data sets from the 70s to 2000, because I imagine anything post 2001 is going to be bizarro world.
I agree Marin is too expensive, but it sure is nice. Plus it has a lot of film people around. And less people with boob jobs. (Comparatively). If prices are going to come down 40% there, maybe I'll hold out and live there!!!
I also wonder if some of these areas never have rational rent vs own ratios. Then I'll have to decide if I should just rent for a long time and squirrel away the rest of my money and then buy a house outright when the time comes. (15 years from now).
Anyway, just trying to be fiscally rational about the areas I like.
