Enterprise's strengths and weaknesses
Enterprise ranks where it does because the parts of life that are hardest to change mostly work here. Cell coverage is the standout, in the top 1% of cities. A strong job market and state finances follow.
The one real hole is tree cover, near the bottom of the country. Summer heat and air quality also cost it ground. The measures below break that down, and the map shows how much of it holds street by street.

What it costs to buy a home in Enterprise
A household needs to earn about $129,000 a year to comfortably buy the median Enterprise home, at 20% down and today's 30-year rate. That runs well above the area's median income of $106,921, so buying stretches a typical household.
Where the monthly payment goes
Assumes a 20% down payment, a 6.6% 30-year fixed rate, and a 28% share of income going to the payment. The rate is the 2026-07-23 30-year fixed average, series MORTGAGE30US from the St. Louis Fed, which publishes Freddie Mac's weekly survey. Against the median home value, property tax uses Enterprise's effective rate of 0.54%, and insurance is estimated at 0.4% of home value a year.
Renting versus buying
At today's prices, buying tends to cost more than renting for about the first 8 years, then pulls ahead as rent keeps rising and the mortgage builds equity. The chart tracks the running cost of each.

Sources and methodology
Every measure on this page is scored for each neighborhood, then rolled up to Enterprise. Scores are absolute rather than ranked, which means a 60 in Enterprise represents the same real quantity as a 60 anywhere else, and the ranking is a weighted average of those absolutes. The map colors come from a national scale calibrated against a population weighted random sample of 5,000 neighborhoods. That absolute scoring is what no other places-to-live ranking does: it puts a single neighborhood, a town, a metro, and a state on one scale, so the same 40 measures answer both which metro to move to and which street inside it to buy on.
