The measurable part of the question
The median tracked Dallas ZIP has a home-value-to-annual-rent ratio of 15.8, and that ratio varies more between Dallas ZIPs than it does between metros.
Price-to-rent is a yield proxy and nothing more: it carries no financing cost, no tax, no insurance, no vacancy and no management, so it ranks opportunities rather than pricing them.
Where the yield actually differs
The home-value-to-annual-rent ratio runs from 7.4 in 75216 to 54.4 in 75230, so the same metro contains both ends of the range.
A metro-level ratio is an average of neighborhoods that behave differently; the decision is made inside that range, not at its midpoint.
