This project analyzes property tax increment potential around proposed California High-Speed Rail (CAHSR) stations in Los Angeles, Burbank, and Palmdale. It models how Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) could capture property value growth from development and turnover to fund transit-oriented infrastructure improvements over a 45-75 year period.
All data files are available in the project’s Google Drive folder.
