Reading This Honestly

Drive times are computed town centre to workplace over the open road network, free of traffic. A hilltown's own roads, snow, and rush hour all add real minutes.
Median home values are assessed values from the towns' own rolls, asking prices run different, usually higher.
Recorded job links come from the 2022 Massachusetts main LODES file. Both home and workplace are in Massachusetts; interstate commutes are excluded. These are jobs, not unique people or daily trips. Only the top 25 origins or destinations are retained.
"Tuitions out" means older students attend a neighbouring district by arrangement, every grade has a school.
