Last week I made a "brief" comparison between Tucson and Albuquerque. Nothing too detailed, but I noted that I would add more specific information so here it is.

Next week I'll compare the housing market between both Tucson and Albuquerque. For more information about each of these cities visit the city stat snapshots for both Tucson and Albuquerque at Money Magazine.
