Cost indexes barely move across this corridor, so the ranges above track each other — what separates these markets is supply and storm exposure. Springfield, the closest at about 23 miles, lists 28 contractors against Dayton's 29, and its county logged 14 hail events to Dayton's 43 over the same decade. A quote that ignores those local factors deserves a follow-up question.
