Every year in summer I post a video about the hottest neighborhoods in Milwaukee and what I found is, that small markets that don't sell at least 100 homes during spring do not offer a large enough statistical sample size to get reasonable numbers, outliers impact the result too much.To your point, if I look at Whitefish Bay with it's 14,000 affluent residents, there is not really a B, C or D area.
