Median Age of Buildings on Altamont, NY Streets 🏡

One of the ways I’ve been playing with the state tax records database is to experiment with the property tax database to figure out how old various streets are. While certainly people can and do build and rebuild houses on roads well after a street is constructed, looking at the median age of buildings on a street can give you a ballpark estimate on how old a street is and how old the particular neighborhood is. Probably the next step would be to plot this on a map.

Clearly with the median building dates, you can find the newest streets and developments in Altamont — and which neighborhoods and streets are rich in history.
