PR Newswire (US)
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Bringing home the country's
fascination and thirst for information on vice presidential
candidates Sarah Palin and Joseph Biden, Realtor.com(R) examines
the neighborhoods these two political stars call home. Clicking to
the #1 homes-for-sale Web site's Find A Neighborhood feature,
Americans across the country can easily explore and learn local
details about the next vice president's neighborhood, while
exploring more than 55,000 other US neighborhoods. Wasilla, Alaska
-- Home of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin: A recipient of the Find A
Neighborhood "Fast-Track Families" designation, Wasilla is composed
mainly of large upper-middle-class income families living in
spacious homes. This demographic profile certainly describes the
Palin family of seven. Fast-Track Families are middle-aged parents
in their prime acquisition years, with the disposable income and
educated sensibility to want the best for their many children. They
buy the latest technology with impunity and take advantage of
rustic locales to enjoy camping, boating and fishing. Wasilla is
situated in the south-central part of Alaska and has an average
home price of about $135,000. The local economy supports employment
in a variety of city, borough, state, federal, retail and
professional service positions, including tourism, agriculture,
wood, steel, and concrete products, plus commercial fishing. About
35 percent of the Wasilla workforce commutes to Anchorage for
employment. Interestingly, a ballot initiative to make Wasilla the
new capital of Alaska, a town of less than 10,000 people, was only
narrowly defeated by a 116,000 to 96,000 vote in 1994. Wilmington,
Delaware -- Home of Delaware Senator Joseph Biden: Wilmington is
home to many "Upper Crust" US couples, a lifestyle & profile
category on Realtor.com's Find A Neighborhood feature to describe
people enjoying the most abundant lifestyles in America. Upper
Crust neighborhoods contain the highest concentration of residents
earning over $200,000 a year or possessing a postgraduate degree --
usually empty-nesting couples over age 55. The average price of all
Wilmington homes is about $210,000. Crime in the city is low and
the local economy is better than many states, largely due to the
pro-business finance laws and a longstanding reputation for a fair
and effective judicial system. Longstanding industries include
insurance and credit card companies, making Wilmington a U.S.
financial center where usury laws have not been employed to limit
the interest rates credit card companies can charge. Visit Find a
