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.
Sources
- Drive times from openrouteservice by HeiGIT, map data from OpenStreetMap; town assessment rolls and certified tax rates. Checked 2026-11-02.
- Federal commute census (LODES). Figures through 2022.
"Figures through" is the period the publisher's data describes; "checked" is only when we last asked. The full sourcing: sources and method.
