It didn't give me any comparisons for my ZIP code (08844)

Edit: Nearby ZIP code (08807):
Overall 153.1 100
Food 109.5 100
Housing 222.5 100

I'm looking to move to a place that's about 20 minutes from work and a 130 overall.

West End, Houston

i think the few remaining shotgun shacks in this zip are dragging down the housing value, but those are rapidly being bulldozed.

It could be true. Seattle rain is like a light mist that came down all day. By the end of the day, you can barely measure it. Other places, when it rain, it RAIN.

Don't be fooled by the low cost of houses, it's not because they're cheaper, it's because they're trashier.
