Listsource Criteria Anomaly

Quick Q for all you DM wizards out there.

I inserted my criteria into Listsource and all was well until...

I chose 2-5 bedrooms.  My list went from around 2500 to 500.  I don't understand this as I have SFRs, Duplex, Tris & Quads selected (there aren't many of the latter 3 in my area).  I even tried 2-100 bedrooms with the same result! 

Can anyone guess what the issue might be? 

Thanks a million!

Keep in mind that whenever you add a filter with a specific range, the service will filter out not only everything that has different data, but also everything that has >missing< data. So what you may be finding is that the county you are working in doesn't have great bedroom data. We've seen counties, for example, that didn't start tracking bedrooms until fairly recently, and therefore anything built before that simply doesn't have that data. There are even some counties that don't track bedrooms at all - still, today. That's crazy to me. 

I'd just eliminate that criteria. It really isn't doing much for you as that range includes everything that is commonly built anyway.
