Methodology
Source: Apify Zillow Search Scraper · Bettie Weaver ES catchment · SF, 4+ bd, 3+ ba, 2,500+ sqft, sold history (Chesterfield 23113 / 23114)
Catchment defined as Bettie Weaver Elementary attendance zone within Chesterfield County (23113). Filters at scrape: SINGLE_FAMILY, 4+ beds, 3+ baths, 2,500+ sqft. Only rows with parseable price + size + sale date are kept; 0 of 276 raw rows excluded.
All medians are simple medians of the qualifying set per slice. p25/p75 are interpolated. $/sqft is per-property price ÷ living area, then median across the slice. Zestimate / tax-assessed values come straight from the Apify export with no normalization.
DOM caveat: Zillow's `daysOnZillow` reports total time the listing object has existed on Zillow, NOT actual market days. Median 529 days here reflects long Zillow page lifetimes, not slow sales. Real CDOM requires MLS data.
