Question 1
Which cities make useful reference points for Neffs?
Within Ohio, the closest population matches are Holgate (1,033 residents, $51,188 income); Bradner (1,030 residents, $61,563 income); Ansonia (1,036 residents, $63,462 income). Outside the state, the closest population matches in this dataset are Route 7 Gateway, CT (1,032 residents); Roslyn Harbor, NY (1,032 residents); Knox, PA (1,032 residents). A third, income-matched reference set of 6 out-of-state cities sits in the income neighbourhood chart near the Place Dossier plate. These are mechanical peer sets, not claims that the places share a labor market, climate, culture, or metro context.
Use the in-state set to hold state policy and broad price conditions more nearly constant. Use the nationwide size set to ask whether cities with a similar resident count produce different housing, income, or commute outcomes. The income set is a third lens, deliberately separate from population matching.
