Cupertino is located about 40 miles south of San Francisco, and roughly 10 miles north of San Jose, in the Northern California Bay Area. Cupertino is nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley, and has experienced an income boom among working professionals in the last decade and a half, due to the "dot-com" phenomenon.

Those two demographic categories are represented by mere slivers in Baldwin Hills when graphed out. Roughly three quarters of the houses in Baldwin Hills are worth either between $100,000 and $150,000 or between $150,000 and $200,000. The discrepancy between the two areas can be attributed largely to the economic strength of the Silicon Valley, which, we believe, also has a correlation with resident age.
