Map 1.
The title is, "Most Pronounced Home Price Gains During Late '90s Tended to Be in Urban Areas with IT/Finance Clusters and Vacation/Retirement Areas."

It shows the percentage change in median home resale price from 1995 through 2000 in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, compared with the nationwide increase of 26 percent. Data are reported at the town level, and only towns with at least ten sales transactions in both 1995 and 2000 are mapped. The map shows increases greater than the national average (some more than double) in much of eastern Massachusetts, southern Rhode Island, and southwestern Connecticut (around urban areas with technology or financial clusters) and in Cape Cod, Nantucket Island, Martha's Vineyard, coastal Rhode Island, and the Berkshire--vacation/retirement areas.
