It is fun to play "who will get off at which stop" on marta Red line because of this effect. The income disparity in atlanta is insane and getting worse.

  Wow that's interesting how for Brown line the median income is already high for Addison and stays relatively constant all the way downtown

  Chicago's is heavily skewed by the loop stops - where almost nobody lives. Filtering those out would give a much clearer view.

  Seems like it would be more interesting in terms of price per sq ft. Some of the "expensive" stops just seem like places where the median sale represents a 4 bedroom house instead of a 1 bedroom apartment.

    Ha! That's the feedback that inspired the price per square foot for this map.

And here's one for London: https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/london/london-underground-rent-map https://www.thrillist.com/lifestyle/london/london-undergroun... Direct link to large-scale map: http://assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/1560005 http://assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/1560005 Note we tend to think of flats in terms of number of bedrooms. Hatton Cross is right next to Heathrow airport, if you're wondering why it is so cheap.

This map has areas of london by square foot for a closer comparison, but isn't by tube stops. Looks like we are more expensive than the bay area, if you go by area - We live in much smaller houses than in America, I believe

    I've lived in both recently, and London definitely wins for more the more decrepit Victorian stock, but SF is no stranger to the flat conversion phenomenon and I'd say the average living space in the city is not much bigger than London. However what tips the scales for London being more affordable IMHO is the fact that there is not 500 square miles of water smack in the middle spreading everything out. For instance in London I lived 9 tube stops from the center and it was < 5 miles by bicycle. In the Bay Area I also live 9 BART stops from downtown SF but it is 15 miles, I can't cycle (because no bike path over the bay bridge), and I get less for my money relative to London. Throw on the anemic transit here, and London is much more doable on a budget.
