Keep in mind the data is adjusted for inflation, I'm not sure why the OP chose to do that.

  I'm curious: why wouldn't you adjust for inflation? That seems to make it more of an apples-to-apples comparison to me.

    Inflation is a very broad trend to adjust for. Maybe a dollar was worth 2% more in some part of the country while it bought you 5% less elsewhere. The ups and downs in local cost of living are probably extreme in SF, so adjusting with a nation-wide trend (which is probably nowhere near representative for SF) might be a bit arbitrary.

      Excellent point. I just did a quick search and can't really find figures on "regional" inflation or CPI. That's... annoying.
