Source: Zillow Research (ZORI, ZHVI), smoothed, seasonally adjusted, rebased to first-of-month. Year-over-year is each metro's own latest month against the same month a year earlier; the sparkline traces the last 24 months of that rent-YoY reading. Red = accelerating rent, green = cooling. No live blend — these are the published Zillow series verbatim.
