Keep the category’s limits in view
The source category is “Fire” under “Disaster Repairs.” A median describes the middle of reported spending; it is not an average bid, a recommended budget or a standardized job.
Missing or withheld values stay unknown. They are not zero and are not filled using neighboring metros. The survey’s metro names and boundaries are retained; no county or ZIP estimate is inferred.
Before comparing your quotes
Does the scope separate damage removal, cleaning and rebuilding?
Keep the actual quotes in a budget worksheet.
