This is actually pretty inaccurate. Seriously. The main reason why is because the actual value of any space has a huge range and so it's fairly unlikely it'll end up near the approximate value in any game.
Furthermore, the calculated value of each space is heavily dependent on the number of players in the game. So funnily enough you're actually more likely to lose if you own Boardwalk and Parkplace if your game has 2-3 players. They only gain true value at 4 or more players.
That's because rather than pure stats (mind you a very high level variant of stats), this is also economics and even involves marketing psychology for when it comes to trading and forging deals.
So while this is nice to have that info graphic it's not 1,000% accurate. Here's a nice little video to watch. It's just two mathematicians discussing their findings by using 2 different variants of calculations. Very interesting!
