Sales are tied to Hill East through OTR assessment sub-areas Old City 1 A, B, C and D in OTR's Integrated Tax System Public Extract, not through the DC Health planning-area boundary used elsewhere on this site, because the tax extract has no coordinates. The two areas overlap but do not match exactly. Fit with the Hill East boundary, measured this run by tax square (a square counts as inside if any DC address point on it falls inside the DC Health polygon, so edge squares make these upper bounds; measured 2026-11-02): 91% of the 3,551 house and condo parcels in the OTR area(s) sit on squares inside the boundary, and 91% of house and condo parcels on in-boundary squares belong to the OTR area(s).
