Virginia and Mumbai housing, side by side
A home can cost many years of rent. That number tells the real story.
One state with a 10-year price walk. One city with a stamp-duty floor. Same question: how far apart are the homes?

01 · Virginia
Color is today’s typical home price by county (Zillow). Scroll to see the richest and poorest ends.
02 · Falls Church
Independent city. Highest typical home on this map. The line is 10 years of the same Zillow index.
03 · Buchanan
Same state. Same price index. A very different decade.
04 · Pull back
Two places stay lit. Indexed to 100 ten years ago: did the gap grow or shrink?
05 · Fairfax
Not the peak, not the floor. Home price (clay) next to rent (sage), live from Zillow.
06 · The ratio
Home price ÷ (monthly rent × 12). If that number rose, buying got harder even when both prices and rents went up.
07 · Next year
Solid line = past prices. Cone = near-term metro trend. Use it for next year, not for 2031.
08 · BMC
What it does publish: this year’s stamp-duty floor for 24 BMC wards (ready reckoner). Tallest bar = highest floor.
09 · M East
Eastern suburbs. Ready reckoner, not a listing. Rank, 2011 households, and years of citywide 2BHK rent vs a 1,000 ft² floor.
10 · Malabar Hill
Same ready-reckoner method. Highlighted against every other BMC ward.
11 · Two homes
Color = ready-reckoner value of 1,000 carpet ft². That matches Falls Church / Buchanan as “a home.”
12 · Harbour
BMC has rates. Navi Mumbai is already a planned city with people. Mumbai 3.0 is a new plan on 124 villages — not a floor yet.
13 · Navi Mumbai
Census 2011 people and households vs BMC. Node-level ready reckoner exists (Vashi, Nerul, Kharghar) but is not on this map.
14 · Mumbai 3.0
About 323 km². Notified Oct 2024. Near Atal Setu, the new airport, and the port.
15 · Close
Virginia can show how the gap moved over 10 years. Mumbai can show today’s floor, a census count, and a plan. The bars compare ranges — not the same kind of inequality. That difference is the finding.
