What stands out

Locust Fork deserves a complete cost check.

Housing is the first filter

The 4.0× home-value-to-income marker makes taxes, insurance, dues, and repairs part of the decision.

Rent needs a listing check

$1,054/mo is a planning marker. Current listings, fees, utilities, and commute costs still decide fit.

Context must stay labeled

City metrics are preferred. State or coordinate-derived signals remain labeled so they are not mistaken for address-level facts.
