The 30-second read

Start with the numbers that shape a move.

These are planning signals, not a verdict. Verify the exact home, neighborhood, commute, parcel, and provider.

What stands out

Lafe deserves a complete cost check.

01

Housing is the first filter

The 2.0× home-value-to-income marker makes taxes, insurance, dues, and repairs part of the decision.

02

Rent needs a listing check

$640/mo is a planning marker. Current listings, fees, utilities, and commute costs still decide fit.

03

Context must stay labeled

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