I'll be down in California most likely, which is way pricier than Calgary.

Hey, Queens is nice (relatively), and while I give you the southern bronx, the northenr bronx is very rich. And Chicaog, only parts of the South side.

Now, Detroit...that place can go.

On the right of the screen there will be "State and County QuickFacts." Select your state, go to that page for state figures, and from there you can select which county you want to look at.
