Each figure is a typical local project cost with the low to high range. Free to cite.
Census figures put the median Columbia home at about 48 years old, built around 1978. There are roughly 60,568 housing units here with a median value near $243,500. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates. NEU uses details like these to match Columbia homeowners with a home improvement contractor whose crews already know this kind of housing stock, not just whoever answers the phone first.

How is the Columbia cost index calculated?
We scale the labor share of a national baseline cost by how Columbia's average wage compares to the national average (index 0.79, using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics QCEW data), so local labor tracks local wages while materials stay national.
