Why no city ranking? Only 4 of 17 schools here have trustworthy data — we rank a city only when at least 5 do, so one school's numbers can't masquerade as a citywide pattern. Each school below still has its own full report.

Typical home value: $144,513 (Zillow ZHVI, 2026-06-30) — cheaper than 90% of ZHVI-matched cities. Comparing safety against price? See the Affordable & Safe guide.
