        Yeah I know that one.

        If you tell me exactly what you want I will try to get to it. But fwiw, over the short term, changes in the price-to-income ratio are entirely driven by prices, which move much more wildly than incomes.

        Okay.
        What I am looking for is a chart showing media pti but only since peak (or the last 5 years, whichever is easier), or even more recent past.

        Just looking for more detail than the shambling graph shows.

        While month-to-month, I see your point, i suspect that broader income shifts in the last 5 years show up somewhat.

        I could be wrong…
