Methodology
Here's how we created the data: Veranito Prints the home of posters, wall art and prints took the average price of all houses & flats from within 1/2 mile radius of the Metro station, and re-created a version of the metro map. In situations where stations were close together or a large housing area, we used 1/4 mile radius for a more accurate average price.
Since the west end of Newcastle isn't included on the metro, we've created a new line which includes the average house prices for thse areas. This is shown with a grey-dash line.
These results are pretty crazy, and we can see some huge differences in prices, including some massive price gaps from one station to the next.
