How Big of a House Can You Get for $1M Around the United States?

Published

A million dollars is a million dollars, right? Well, it turns out that a million dollars can go a lot further in some U.S. cities than it can in others. This new 3D bar graph map visualization from RoofClaim.com reveals just how far (or not so far) your dollar can go when it comes to buying a house. The results are fascinating:

In Detroit, Michigan, you can buy a 22,000-plus square foot mega-mansion for $1 million. That’s nearly half the size of a football field. And in Memphis, Tennessee, you can get a similarly-sized 17,847 sq ft home for the same amount of money. Although, the local market in Memphis seems to be turning around this year.

On the other end of the spectrum, the real estate market in San Francisco is a whole different story. With one million dollars you’d only be able to get about 909 square feet. In Detroit, a home of that size would only run you about $40,905. But, just because housing prices are low, doesn’t mean it’s a good buy. Be sure to do your own research.


So why is it that real estate markets in the same country can be priced so wildly different? Well, that’s a complicated answer. A lot of factors come into play when it comes to real estate value in a specific city. Some include housing availability, crime rate, the job market, waterfront or other favorable views, and more. In San Francisco, it’s emerging that housing prices are so high that even highly paid tech workers can’t afford to live there.

How does your local city or town stack up? Let us know in the comments!

This detailed list ranks the actors by their earnings and adds detail like precisely how much their films have earned, and which film brought in the most money. You can also see how many films the actor has had a lead role in. In the case of the number one highest grossing actor, Samuel L. Jackson, more lead roles mean higher grossing films. The renowned Jackson has led in 69 films, including franchise juggernauts like Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His highest grossing film was Avengers: Endgame, something he has in common with many of the other performers on this list, including the number #2 highest grossing actor, Scarlett Johansson.

A metal is naturally occurring, and many appear on the periodic table of elements whereas an alloy combines two elements.

On this illustrated chart, we can truly visualize the comparative value of these metals because the team stacked money representative of the value beside an image of each metal. The chart is a great example of the power of visual data. Our eye is immediately drawn to the vast stacks of cash beside the most valuable metal, Californium. These stacks tower above ever other metal on the chart making it clear that not all metals are created equal.

65 Metals and Alloys Ranked by Cost per Ounce

Californium’s value is a shocking $765,436,299 per ounce! That’s significantly higher than the second-most popular metal, a non-synthetic called Iridium, which is valued at $4,700. The key to the value difference lies in the fact that Californium is a synthetic substance. It’s created in a nuclear reactor and only two plants in the world have the capability of engineering it. As for Iridium, it’s naturally occurring but hard to mine and access. It’s found deep under the Earth’s crust, often attached to asteroids. Through this chart, we can learn more about different metals as well as why they’re so highly valued. Many are needed for key electronics and aerospace parts.
