What does A.I. say about Tracy?
Tracy provides you with a rare chance at great value for cost-effective living based somewhere inside California’s San Joaquin County boasting plenty of features without too heavily impacting pocketbooks. Median housing values come in around the mid-$500s and renting usually lands near by approximately half that amount as standard - greatly cheaper compared to coastal places like Stockton or Lathrop located far further down north. Grocery stores equally hover just below US figures due largely to local taxes & regulations while sales tax totals out unaltered at 8.25%.
