How often do you land on Kentucky Avenue?
That makes it the 11th most-landed-on square of 39 on the board.
On a board where every square was equally likely, each would take 2.5% of turns. Kentucky Avenue takes 2.58% — about 1.03× the flat rate. The board isn’t flat because Go To Jail, the two card decks, and the doubles rule all pump traffic around it unevenly.
Why this number
No Chance or Community Chest card sends anyone here. Every token that lands on Kentucky Avenue got there on the dice alone, which is most of the reason it sits where it does — the squares above it in the ranking are nearly all collecting card traffic on top of their dice traffic.
What it earns
Kentucky Avenue is part of the red group (Kentucky Avenue, Indiana Avenue and Illinois Avenue), costs $220 to buy and $150 per house. Fully built with hotels, the group pays for itself in about 29 opponent turns — 3rd fastest group of 8.
| Development | Rent | Group payback |
|---|---|---|
| No houses | $18 | 190 turns |
| 1 house | $90 | 127 turns |
| 2 houses | $250 | 62 turns |
| 3 houses | $700 | 30 turns |
| 4 houses | $875 | 29 turns |
| Hotel | $1,050 | 29 turns |
Rent is for this property alone; payback is for the whole red group, since you can’t build houses without owning all of it.
