Towns near Beverly Hills compared

5 of the 6 nearest places get more painting days, the most in Berkley (81 a year, 3 miles southeast). A gap like that between towns is usually elevation, a coast or a lake, which is why a painter from a few towns over can be on a different schedule. Birmingham is read from the same station as Beverly Hills, so its numbers match; the real difference is the distance from that station.
