Method & Limitations

This map was created by geocoding each numbered address in the grand list using the Google Maps Geocoding API and a Python script. The total assessed delta for each property was determined by subtracting the new gross value from the old gross value. The locations were then mapped and visualized using Carto.

Some addresses fell outside of the bounds of the town limits due to inaccuracy or incompleteness of the source data.
