You can bring up this data through this page, which is buried in the Globe's Real Estate section. I'm not sure where the underlying data comes from. The vendor is www.onboardllc.com.

Where do I live? Like it says, a leafy suburb west of Boston. Where it looks as though the money does grow on trees.

wow that's pretty neat - and a very eye opening comparison with my most likely east of your town. I'm actually a little shocked how much better off my zip is than I first thought.

I used to drive from Westford through Carlisle, Concord, Lincoln, Weston and then finally Waltham to get to work. (All local just to avoid using Rt. 3/128)

Leafy is definitely a proper adjective for these towns...except for Waltham. It is usually at Waltham when I am brought back out of my personal BMW car commercial to reenter reality.
