Assessed value per property does not vary in proportion as the acreage 

 increases or declines. The assessed value of delinquent farm land with 

 buildings averaged $1,735 per property, more than double that of farm lands 

 without buildings and one-third more than forest lands. The highest 

 assessed value per property was in the forest lands of Coos County, averag- 

 ing $3,168, which is further evidence that many delinquent properties were 

 large tracts. The assessed value of this land is $10.28 per acre compared 

 with an average of $12.42 for all counties. Farm land without buildings 

 had an average assessment of $10.66 per acre, less than one-half that of 

 farm land with buildings. The highest assessed value per acre of these 

 tax-delinquent lands was for farm land with buildings in Rockingham
