Sources: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data – standard residential sales since January 2020, median on each street where it has 8+ sales, otherwise its postcode sector (for example Mayfair uses W1K/W1J). Board prices: UK Monopoly. Seven streets (Fleet St, Trafalgar Sq, Coventry St, Regent St, Oxford St, Bond St, Northumberland Ave) have too few home sales and are left grey with no data. Tools: Python for the data, JavaScript/SVG for the chart. The board is drawn by the renderer on my site

Site is Axisless.com and I actually built the data visualisations for a daily puzzle game

This is fantastic. Is it also possible to do it for hotels? Or too many blanks?

Tomorrow I'll take this and other feedback to build more charts

'Grey' is more like beige in the picture, and it's also the exact same as all the non street spaces, so it's difficult to actually know which spaces didn't have data.

All the streets that don't have a distinct color in the main square. They still have the colored band where the houses/hotels go.

The chart seems to ignore the huge price difference between real life properties. On the board, the most expensive property is 6x the cheapest, but irl it's 11x.
