Appendix A: Study Area Descriptions <strong>The</strong> analysis reported in the body <strong>of</strong> the report used data from ten different wind-project study areas, across nine different states and 14 counties, and surrounding 24 different wind facilities. Each <strong>of</strong> the study areas is unique, but as a group they provide a good representation <strong>of</strong> the range <strong>of</strong> wind facility sizes, hub heights, and locations <strong>of</strong> recent wind development activity in the U.S. (see Figure A - 1 and Table A - 1). This appendix describes each <strong>of</strong> the ten study areas, and provides the following information: a map <strong>of</strong> the study area; a description <strong>of</strong> the area; how the data were collected; statistics on home sales prices in the sample and census-reported home values for the towns, county, and state that encompass the area; data on the wind facilities contained within the study area; and frequency tables for the variables <strong>of</strong> interest (i.e., views <strong>of</strong> turbines, distance to nearest turbine ,and development period). 82
