The Mathematics aside, in zip codes with which I'm intimately familiar I don't know of any 2 bedroom housing in wealthy neighborhoods. Now zip codes cover a large area so yes 2 bedroom homes and wealthy neighborhoods could co exist in the same zip. But that's like saying St.Augustine and Jacksonville are near one and the other. Only places where two bedroom and wealthy neighbors exist are neighborhoods undergoing gentrfication. Check out zips 32266,32233, and 32250

I think that is why there is the stipulation on entry level homes. They are probably tiny cape cods, townhouses and (I would guess though the author doesn't say) condos.

It is a little surprising he didn't look at 3 bedroom homes, as I would think those sorts of homes would be a bit more selectively chosen. By the time you are getting a place with 2 rooms for kids, you are probably thinking more about school districts and staying there a long time. Before you have kids you probably aren't so choosy or rooted.
