George,

From a table of the 2005 assessments of all single family residences in the city of Charlottesville I created the attached frequency distribution. A random survey should have the same distribution.

Donal Day (electronic mail, May 14, 2005)

Here are the numbers.

Bin	        Frequency
      0	            10
150,000	         13106
250,000	          1836
350,000	           557
450,000	           191
550,000	            72
650,000	            29
750,000	             7
   More	             8

Editor's Note: To compare these numbers with the assessed valuations of the residences of signers of the Charlottesville School Board Accountability petition, see Politics of Subtraction and Division.
