But our Blue Ridge place is spot on for the 75th percentile.

If you're outside the blue area, but still have a Pasaena address, you'll fall under the Unincorporated LA County rules: City Map

We actually highlighted, by color coded paint (Yellow, Blue, Red), the Gas, Water, and Electric main shutoffs, and pointed these locations out as well as when/how to utilize them at the move in inspection.

This is a good start for where I buy real estate.I know this is meant to be somewhat of a joke but states that lean blue tend to be much less landlord friendly.

It could be highlighted in blue and underlined or something. 

Quote from @Ruth Blue: @Domanique HugginsWe manage cabins here in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and with the different owners for locations.

We’d like to be close to Blue Ridge as this will be financed and used as a vacation home as well but the price point is the reason why we are looking at surrounding cities.

Little things to look out for are: cars parked on the grass, the style and age of cars, yards with high and unkept grass, cyclone fenced front yards, houses that need painting, blue tarps on the roof.

Have heard good things about the rental market, was curious to see what your typical pricepoints are to purchase properties and what rent income is usually in decent blue collar areas.

Most of them near the base you mentioned, where there are a lot of blue-collar people and working families.
