How we measured

We placed each home using its street address in our booking system and the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder. Landmark locations come from OpenStreetMap; the FedEx Ground site is placed from its published address with the same Census geocoder. Tri-State towns are measured to their town centers. Drive times and distances come from the OSRM route planner using OpenStreetMap roads, with no traffic, so allow extra time at busy hours. Figures were worked out on 2026-10-20 CT.
