Loss leaders are not a great gauge of prices. The BCS metro area, such as it is, isn't that big. In toto, a tick under 300k, spread over 3 counties. Bryan is a tick under 100k and College Station is not much bigger. Both kinda splat together just north of the university. The BCS metro area experienced a boom due to COVID, so the local economy is actually doing pretty well. The fact that Houston and Austin, each of which is much larger than the BCS metro, has better loss leaders should surprise no one with more than a room temperature IQ. The average prices aren't much different, though.
