They must have major sample bias to rank Orinda below Rockridge.
Also, it says this data includes sales from the last six months, which exactly covers the low season for housing sales. I'd be very interested to see this again in September or October.
A semi-related factoid about Orinda: lowest % of passengers who get to/from the station by foot of any in the BART system.
You know what looks crazy? Not factoring in size. We did it and it looked really goofy.

Price per square foot tends to goes down as square footage goes up.
(For example, a 1700 sq ft home in mountain view will cost you 2 mil. A 3400sq ft one in the same place will cost ~3 mil, not 4 mil).
I lobbied to put both on here, but then you end up with an unreadable map.
If you wanted to buy a decrepit 600 sq. ft shack on a 10-acre lot in downtown Woodside, a price per square foot metric might seem like it should be <$1M. In reality the property would sell for $10M+ based on the land value, with the shack having negative value because of the cost to tear it down. (Ob. Steve Jobs Woodside reference here.)
