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 94115 is in San Francisco County, California, within the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA area.

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 (1986 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 1986 are not shown.

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