Firms split into thirds by the usual value of the homes they work on, with each third's usual filed value weighted by permits. Home values: Marin County assessed land and improvement values from MarinMap parcels (Proposition 13 values, which usually sit well below market value). Under Proposition 13 a home bought decades ago can carry a value far below what it would sell for today, so treat the home-value matching and the price-versus-similar-jobs comparison as rough.
| Firms working on | Usual home value | Usual filed value | Firms | Permits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower third | under $1,157,781 | $25,000 | 123 | 196 |
| Middle third | $1,157,781–$1,972,952 | $46,250 | 124 | 237 |
