The pace is anything but even. Activity is spread across the decades, with 1986 the busiest year on file.

Read together — 27% mortgage, 41 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$217K of Kings, written across 916 government filings.
