Highest-earning counties in California

Data shows that annual annual income depends heavily on an individual’s educational attainment, race, ethnicity, gender, and even location. One cluster of the United States is particularly well off: The five of the seven counties with the highest median household income in the country can be found in the Washington D.C. metropolitan areas of Maryland and Northern Virginia. These counties can likely attribute their wealth to their proximity to Washington D.C., which attracts highly educated and skilled people in areas of law and public policy. And people in those fields often marry each other, making two high-earning households one very high-earning household.

The 2024 real median household income in the United States was $83,730, statistically unchanged from the 2023 estimate of $82,690, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Stacker compiled a list of the highest-earning counties in California using data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Counties are ranked by 2024 5-year estimate median household income.

Are homes selling in Los Angeles in 2026?

The U.S. housing market has been uncharacteristically slow since the pandemic, when buyers and sellers jumped on ultra-low mortgage rates. Since then, high prices and economic uncertainty have scared many consumers off, leading to multiple years with home sales near 30-year lows.

This slowdown hasn’t played out evenly across the country, though. As buyers searched for affordability, some lower-cost areas heated up and have become the hottest housing markets in the country. But many cities are dealing with much slower-than-normal markets.

So, how is the Los Angeles, CA housing market doing in 2026? Are homes selling, or are buyers and sellers sitting on the sidelines? To find out, Redfin Real Estate analyzed listings across the city to see how many homes are selling and if sales have risen or fallen in the last year. Redfin used several metrics to gauge activity, such as pending sales, active listings, and days on market. All data is seasonally adjusted and represents the monthly median for May 2026.

Are homes selling in Los Angeles?

  • Homes sold: 4,332 (+10.9% YoY)
  • Pending sales: 4,797 (+2.6% YoY)
  • Median days on market: 49 (+1 days YoY)
  • Active listings: 23,011 (-4.3% YoY)
  • Share of listings sold above original list price: 34.0% (-1.3 ppt YoY)
  • Share of inventory unsold after 60 days: 51.3% (+0.2 ppt YoY)

Are homes selling nationwide?

  • Homes sold: 308,446 (+5.2% YoY)
  • Pending sales: 350,173 (+4.5% YoY)
  • Median days on market: 49 (+3 days YoY)
  • Active listings: 1,483,839 (+0.7% YoY)
  • Share of listings sold above original list price: 25.8% (-0.8 ppt YoY)

Few holidays show up in Instacart orders quite like the Fourth of July. Fire up the grill, open that bag of chips, and pack the cooler because Independence Day is summer at its peak, filled with plenty of food and festive traditions.

Instacart looked at what Americans in California buy across thousands of grocery categories and the result is a primo backyard cookout shopping list, written in data.

Key National Trends

  • The BBQ cookout is king. Hot dog buns (+360% vs. their yearly average), sweet corn (+453%), and canned baked beans (+402%) were all purchased more often on July 4th than on any other day in 2025.
  • Chips top the table. Potato chips claimed the single largest share of any Fourth of July category, peaking 53% above their typical day. Lay’s leads in most states, but every region has its loyalist pick (the brand that punches hardest on home turf): Cape Cod across New England, Herr’s in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey corridor, Zapp’s in Louisiana, and Maui Style in Hawai’i.
  • Regional flavors run deep. Mississippi leads the nation on baked beans (+130%). The Plains states (South Dakota, Nebraska, Delaware) light up for sweet corn. Roma tomatoes spike +138% in Texas and +99% in California. And green limes surge +82% nationally, led by the Southwest.
  • S’mores have their moment. Orders containing graham crackers, marshmallows, and a chocolate bar peaked on July 4 at roughly +550% above their yearly average.
