How the City has assessed property in Shockoe Bottom, 2022–2026.
Of Shockoe Bottom's $250M in assessed-value growth since 2022, new construction drove most of it — about 70% ($176M): new buildings and major projects. The rest is the City reassessing existing property at higher values. How we tell construction from reassessment →
Typical home is the median change across the 483 homes assessed in both 2022 and 2026 — half rose by more, half by less. Growth rank places Shockoe Bottom among the 133 Richmond neighborhoods with at least 50 such homes (1 = fastest growth).
