It's barely under median for the US, that is the real comparison. There are many places across the US with significantly less expensive homes.

Homes in large cities are almost always more expensive than rural areas. I don’t think median is the right comparison, comparing to other large cities and metro areas makes much more sense.

This is not a completely mismatched urban-vs-rural comparison, it is looking just at metro statistical areas across the U.S.
