How often do you land on States Avenue?
That makes it the 13th least-landed-on square of 39 on the board.
On a board where every square was equally likely, each would take 2.5% of turns. States Avenue takes 2.15% — only 0.86× 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 States 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
States Avenue is part of the pink group (St. Charles Place, States Avenue and Virginia Avenue), costs $140 to buy and $100 per house. Fully built with hotels, the group pays for itself in about 29 opponent turns — 4th fastest group of 8.
| Development | Rent | Group payback |
|---|---|---|
| No houses | $10 | 247 turns |
| 1 house | $50 | 166 turns |
| 2 houses | $150 | 78 turns |
| 3 houses | $450 | 34 turns |
| 4 houses | $625 | 30 turns |
| Hotel | $750 | 29 turns |
Rent is for this property alone; payback is for the whole pink group, since you can’t build houses without owning all of it.
