This website is a little janky, unfortunately, but it gets the job done. So when it comes to understanding that, you could just easily go to like zipmap.net, for example. And so if you're using a VPN like I do, it gets pretty annoying because it says that doesn't work. We're just going to disconnect. We're going to refresh. Okay, perfect. So that pulls up, click on Alabama, and we are in Lee County, Alabama. This website is a little janky, unfortunately, but it gets the job done. Where the hell are we? Okay, where's my little bar? There we go. And I just want to see where the codes lie. So 36804, 36874— what was the other one that seemed pretty, pretty high? I think 36801, if I didn't say that one already. And 36801. So we have here, here, and here. Seems to be a lot of data here. And if it is consistent with one another, I don't have a problem merging that together. Where it may get a little bit tricky is this little pocket right here. It's probably not going to be as much data. And also over here, this is where Auburn University is as well too. Maybe an area I may just stay away from depending on how expensive it is, but let's go ahead and just take a look here.
