Using a county comparison
A county blends many different markets, so a community can sit above or below it for reasons that have little to do with how it compares with a specific alternative you have in mind. Compare the two areas you are actually choosing between. Numbers like these describe the whole of Hempstead, not one street or one home, and real estate decisions are rarely a straight line.
