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.
"Already commute" counts come from the federal commute census, which counts jobs by workplace, small flows fall below its floor and show as such, never as zero.
"Tuitions out" means older students attend a neighbouring district by arrangement, every grade has a school.
