Compiled from the Dallas Central Appraisal District certified appraisal roll (certified July 2026), aggregating every residential unit account at this address. Account counts reflect current tax parcels - owner combinations over the years mean historic buildings often show fewer accounts than originally marketed units. Sales tempo counts deed-transfer dates on unit accounts - Texas is a non-disclosure state, so prices aren't public, but turnover is. Assessed values are the county's tax appraisals, which typically trail market sale prices. Homestead percentage counts accounts with an active homestead exemption - a useful public-record proxy for owner occupancy that lenders may consider. The mailing-address figure is a rougher approximation. See the county rankings and the open dataset.
