What a rank means
A rank compares a community with the others in the group; it says nothing about whether a particular home is a fit. Communities at either end of a measure are not better or worse, only different, and the right one depends on your budget, timeline and what you want to own. A Baytown average is a starting point, not a verdict on any one property, and the right move depends on your timeline, finances and the home itself.
