What stands out
Shenandoah deserves a complete cost check.
Housing is the first filter
The 2.1× home-value-to-income marker makes taxes, insurance, dues, and repairs part of the decision.

$762/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.
