This map shows a snapshot of how many houses cost $1 million or more across different areas of Santee.

The high point of million-dollar-houses in Santee reaches 2.5 percent of homes in the area between Fanita Drive and Cuyamaca Boulevard, south of Route 52. The next is 1.2 percent on Rattlesnake Mountain, mostly attributable to the Sky Ranch development.

The data are from the United States Census Bureau's 2011 American Community Survey. (Note: Census.gov was "unavailable" at the time this article was published thanks to the federal government shutdown.)  These values are an estimate for 2011 taking into account 60 months of collected data. You can learn more about the survey here.
