Notes:

1. Population values are approximate. Values were sourced from city's web site or Census 2000 data, whichever is most recent.
2. Home values were calculated from transactions involving 1 to 4 unit residential properties closing June 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 as listed in the Contra Costa Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service. Only homes listed in this MLS were included in the calculations.
3. The "affordability rank" is an arbitrary estimate of affordability relative to the other cities found on this list and is strictly an opinion of Hitchcock Realty.
4. Information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed.
