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.
- The federal commute census does not cover out-of-state workplaces, so no commuter counts exist for Albany, NY, which is not the same as nobody making the drive.
- "Tuitions out" means older students attend a neighbouring district by arrangement, every grade has a school.
