The median price of a home there is $65,000, only two-thirds the price in California's Santa Clara Valley. Wages also tend to be lower-an electrical technician in San Jose, Calif., makes an average of $9.77 an hour; his non-union colleague in Colorado Springs makes $7.84-but there are many other compensations.

Then NBC gradually inched ahead, helped by Shogun and the World Series: viewers tend to leave the dial where it was when they went to bed the night before.
