I think you can pretty much look at the highest tax being paid on a particular street and assume that everyone else would pay the same. Most of the time, all the houses on a street in California are roughly similar in value, because they were all built around the same time by the same developer and are very similar, barring extreme examples like Atherton or Beverly Hills where everyone has a custom home.

I know you think that's true but we have houses on my street varying by ~2x in value and I'm not in Atherton, Palo Alto, or Woodside. It's not extremes like 10x or 5x but these kinds of maps don't really give you great detail. I think the comparison is still needed because there are streets where nearly everyone bought a long time ago.
