Despite a year-round population under 21,000, Dukes County sustains some of the highest housing values in the country. Home values around $1.1 million and household incomes near $102,348 mark it as a recreation-and-resort economy rather than a typical residential market. FEMA's National Risk Index ranks Dukes County in the bottom 17% nationally for natural-hazard exposure — an underrated factor in long-term housing-cost comparisons.
