Key-figure check: median price diverges 30.3% from the nearest retained anchor (prior refresh cycle) — beyond the 12.5% tolerance; an automated validation case is open and the value publishes pending its verdict. Borrowed-parent hold-out: median rent, price per sq ft reproduced Plymouth County's own figure to the dollar — a parent aggregate is not this ZIP's reading, so it was not stored. Validation: the flagged $964,500 (+30.3% vs the prior refresh cycle) could not be independently corroborated and was reverted to the prior cycle value pending review; the case is under review in the Command Center.
