If you visit www.zillow.com and look at the "Heat Map" for price-per-square-foot values in Colorado, you'll see a sharp, north to south line at the boundary between Cold Creek County and Jefferson County, west of Denver. In Cold Creek County, the average per-square-foot prices are in the $150-$200 range, but just across the line in Jefferson County, they're in the $300-$400 range.
What gives?

Looking at it, the "closer to Denver" argument does not explain what we're seeing. The line is at far out houses in Jefferson.
I suspect some problem with their algorithm that computes this.

Do you mean Clear Creek County? There are several reasons why Jefferson is more expensive. It is closer in to Denver, which means it is more desirable as a commuter county. Also, Jefferson is big, with lots of amenities, and more upscale than Clear Creek. Not so hard to understand, really.

Simple, the closer to Denver the price goes up
