How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.

The picture that emerges is of a jurisdiction where property taxation takes a smaller bite than in most American counties, though the gap between the local rate and the national figure is the more striking of the two comparisons.
