Notes: Prices are by county. Standard errors (below coefficients) are clustered by the 22 unique counties. All regressions contain: age, sex, hispanic, white, family income as a percent of poverty line, and a categorical variable (high school graduate, college attendee, and college graduate) for the schooling of the respondent or family reference person.
