I find that areas with a lot lower housing prices will have more SUVs and expensive trucks simply because unlike Palo Alto were you might spend 60% or more of your income on housing.. in the cheap areas mortgages could be in the 500 to 700 dollar range leaving plenty of money to buy things.

A fun trick I like to use to check one market over another: U-Haul rates for trucks.I just looked up a one way trip on U-Haul's site from Phoenix, AZ to San Jose, CA for a 20 ft truck (June 5th pick up date).

I was behind the wheel in my truck when the announcement came over the radio in a news blurb that the Fed was raising the prime a quarter point to throw icewater on a red hot market.

On-site everyday, parked his truck in the spot we paid for, forcing us to park on the street, he tore up the backyard that we was included with the unit, and then put the place up for sale.It was a pretty bad experience, so i made sure i knew the situation going forward with every place I rented.
