The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of arm's-length single-parcel land sales. Each size uses its own months (the shortest of 12, 24 or 36 that holds enough sales), so the sizes' counts need not add up to another figure on this page. Source: the county's own recorded sales, arm's-length by the county's own flag. Recorded sales, not an estimate of any parcel.
