The large percentage

Change in the median assessed value of homes in that ZIP from 2015 to 2016. It is not sale-price appreciation.

The small arrow

How that ZIP’s position on this leaderboard moved versus the prior ranking. “▲ 7” means its rank rose seven places, not that values rose 7%.

What it does not prove

It does not mean every home changed by that amount, and it is not the change in a property’s tax bill. New construction or parcel changes can move the median.
