FHFA notes: The FHFA HPI is a broad measure of the movement of single-family house prices. The FHFA HPI is a weighted, repeat-sales index, meaning that it measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same properties. FHFA describes its ZIP code indexes as developmental: they may be revised as new data arrive or methods change, and the index does not give a dollar value for any home.

ZIP code 92011 is in San Diego County, California, within the San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA area. FHFA's index for it begins in 1977; through 2022 it stands at 1918, meaning prices in repeat sales of the same homes are up +1818.4% since 1977. FHFA's most recent value for this area is for 2022, so every span here ends in 2022.

Over the ten years to 2022 the index rose +173.4%, about +10.6% a year: well above San Diego County (+124.8%), well above California (+124.5%) and well above the national index (+86.1%). The change over 2021–2022 was +58.1%.

By decade, the strongest was the 1980s (+134.3%) and the weakest the 1990s (+30.1%).

From its 2006 peak the index fell −23.9% to a 2011 low and regained the peak in 2016.

Building activity is measured at county level: San Diego County authorised 10,538 housing units in the 12 months to August 2026, 3.2 per 1,000 residents, 31% of them single-family.

Every column uses FHFA's annual all-transactions index family and the same start and end years, so the figures are directly comparable. A dash means the level has no index for that span.

FHFA reports each index with a value of 100 in its base period, the first year the area has enough transactions (1977 here). A decade's change is the index at the end of the decade divided by the index at the start, so it does not depend on the base year; the United States column covers the same years. Decades before 1977 are not shown.

Where does the index for this ZIP come from?

The index tracks price changes for the same homes over time; it does not give a dollar value for any home.
